“Vanya, Go Back Home”
Sound installation. 2007
In the 1960s discoveries in radio-astronomy initiated a new stage of space studies. Unique devices for picking-up radio signals from distant galaxies, stars and sun were developed.
One of these devices is The Big Pulkovo Radio Telescope that still impresses everyone with its size.
The installation is situated near the telescope antenna. There is a stool (the most common and well-known object) standing on the glade. A spectator sits down, puts on headphones that lie nearby. He hears a woman’s voice, saying over and over “Vanya, go back home”.
That is the voice of Ivan Govorkov’s mother . Her little son Ivan is playing outside and she is calling him home.
Despite the specifity of the phrase addressed to Vanya, every adult can remember a similar situation from his own childhood.
With the help of transformation of space, comparison of the big antenna and the small stool the artists reveal the differing scales of the cosmic and the casual. One may consider the sound in the headphones picked up with the antenna.
However, it is not the abstract cosmic noise, but an unexpectedly real human voice. It reflects the feeling of a lonely small human being in the enormous Universe and offers to return to the individual space, the only real and always inhabited one.

The Celestials.
Spaces of the Classics, or the Classics of the Space
scientific theory or hypothesis not only combines all facts, but also reveals an unexpected bond between phenomena that might seem independent.
Ivan Govorkov uses the Moebius’ topological space as an illustration or a symbol in his theory of the universe and offers the graphic perception of the space through the geometry in art.
The artist is convinced that everything around – the anatomy of living beings, the ocean currents, the structure of space and time and the Universe are of shape of the one-sided surface of the Moebius’ tape.
In the series of pictures “The Celestials” the artists combined the images of the mythological heroes of the classic art with the topological space of the one-sided surface.
He offers spectators to return to the ancient view of the world, in which geometry and art could describe the whole Universe.
“The space of the Moebius’ tape is the only true space, the support for the science and art, the vanishing and inconceivable space.
Vibration and form of the truth are concluded in it.
Space and time are the Moebius’ tape;
The human body is the Moebius’s tape;
The whole life is an expectation of the Moebius’ tape features.
Everything is present at the “impresent”;
Everything exists in the “unexistence””.
