“This Knife K•lls The Patriarchy” is a genesis piece of “De•th by 1000 Cuts” project. The artist uses repurposed metal foraged from an abandoned prison. In the production of these works, the artist uses her skills that she learned while being subjected to forced labor during the 2 years she served as a political prisoner in Russian labor camps.

De•th by 1000 cuts refers to an ancient method of tort•re in which numerous small cuts were made on a victim’s body. None of the cuts were deadly by themselves, but the combination of them would cause them to die a slow, painful de•th. Similarly, every activist who raise a voice against an oppressive authoritarian system, causes it to ble•d and to, eventually, 🪦.

The artist who was thrown in prison for her art and has to bear her criminal record for the rest of her life, is reclaiming the identity of a criminal, wears it as a badge of honor, grabs back her agency and stands up against oppressors.

Lucky to be working with @properreplica on this project.

Nadezhda Tolokonnikova Instagram – This art is a hammer that shapes reality. 2023, series of 23 works.

“Humor was another of the soul’s weapons in the fight for self-preservation. It is well known that humor can afford an aloofness and an ability to rise above any situation, even if only for a few seconds” – Viktor Frankl, Man’s search for meaning.

I incorporate needles and sewing machine parts – they represent my experiences of forced labor
in the camp. During that time, I would have dreams of receiving new sets of needles and machine parts, only to wake up to the harsh reality of continuing to sew on old, unsafe equipment. I endured injuries and excruciating pain while sewing, including a traumatic incident where a needle penetrated my finger and caused profuse bleeding, yet I was compelled to persist without proper medical care. The use of red splashes in my artwork represents the blood that stained my worktable at the factory.

I incorporate teddy bears into my work, penetrating them with needles and presenting them as worn and dirty. The teddy bears encapsulate the innocence and vulnerability I once possessed, now marred and broken by the oppressive forces at play.
