The End is unreadable titles created by a neural network and endlessly running on a black screen. The project is part of a series of works in which the authors experiment with symbols generated by StyleGAN and other networks. The artists train neural networks on letters of different alphabets, and the language they create is immersed in the context of familiar forms: manifestos, posters, and now titles. These projects continue the tradition of experiments in text and visual media started by Russian Futurists who used abstruse language in poetry (Alexei Kruchenykh, Velimir Khlebnikov, etc.) and Moscow Conceptualists with their interest in poetic experiences (Lev Rubinstein, Dmitry Prigov, Andrei Monastyrsky, etc.). In The End it is impossible to read the text created by the neural network, but the appearance of symbols, their sequence and general layout allow us to perceive a set of meaningless signs as the closing credits of a movie. It is important that in movies we rather recognize titles by their appearance than by their content. The credits are the final part of any movie, but usually no one reads them. The irony is that in The End project there are only credits, here they are a work in their own right, impossible to read. Nor is it possible to wait for it to end.

The video project "And can you do it like this?", arose as the continuation of the ideas included in the artist's series of paintings with the same title. It concerns the theme of rhythmic gymnastics and its aesthetic and psychological aspects, seen as an expression of the human spirit emanation and phenomenon of being. The film consists of two parts, both having the form of expressive collage. In the first part we see the girls during individual competitions, in front of an audience and the umpires. The second part exhibits the preparations behind the scenes, arduous repetitions of exercises and drastic stretches. There is an impact of glare, sequins, effective movements and smiles, blended with hard work and pain, and aesthetic contrasts mixing in the large pot of kitsch; Is it a fable or just the truth of life? The photographs were taken during the Second International Krystyna Gieorgiew Gymnastics Tournament in Krakow, 2005.
