About the work:
Video Spring based on the real situation on the Bishkek city rubbish dump. Not long time ago inner Kyrgyz migrants due to terrible economic situation in remote districts moved to this place on the suburb of the capital and despite of Governmental restrictions tried to build their own new clay houses just in front of the constantly burning and smoking huge territory of waste. It seems that it is a usual situation of every mega polis of the Third World… But the fact that the people do nothing against this poisoned waste and moreover they are very much depending of this place due to it gives them means for surviving provoked artists to make wider connotations.
