Millstones of Time
Millstones of Time are about cruelty and inevitability of time, about how the single human fate is interwoven in time, about how senseless out existence is… We are lonesome and indifferent towards each other; we are destined to exist together yet separately: both friends and enemies, traitors and betrayed.

In his project Millstone of Time, Viktor Sydorenko does not cite Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper. He borrows its structure and perspective to create his own video-plan. He proposes his own version, repeating echoes of Leonardo’s original painting in the Santa Maria delle Grazie monastery in Milan. This project is not just a tribute, but a virtuoso version of another environment. Simon Dempie

In the Ukrainian pavilion, not far from here, another video (this time, bald men turning millstones) was so unusual that it captured my eyes for a few minutes. It was created by the artist Viktor Sydorenko. Michael Kimmelman on the Millstone of Time at the 50th Venetian Biennale
