JOURNEY OF THE PRIVATE MOON TO FORMOSA
LEONID TISHKOV
JOURNEY
OF THE PRIVATE MOON TO FORMOSA
19.11 –
25.12.2013
Human
can never pluck the moon,
But
she always goes with our step.
Shines
as a mirror over red palace,
And
thru the green mist she glitters.
These lines
by Li Bai became prophetic for artist Leonid Tishkov. For ten years he has been
wandering all over the world with a moon, to be more precise – with an electric
crescent moon, like a lunar dervish, having visited with his companion Austria,
England, France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Latvia, Czech Republic,
Japan, New Zealand, Kazakhstan, the USA and many towns across Russia. In 2012,
the artist travelled to the island Formosa, or modern Taiwan. This journey
resulted in the exhibition in the Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts, in the south
of the island. Pechersky Gallery presents an exhibition, which may be called a
report on this Chinese trip, exposing photographs, artist’s poetry and video.
Project is
accomplished with the help of Kaohsiung City Government, City Portal: Museum
Park Public Art Project, Kaohsiung Museum of Fine Arts.

The Boy and the Moon. Xsiaolin
 | ||
We brought the light-box And put it on the roof of a school. Po-I fell! It hurt! I watched a proof photo in Moscow by email and chose a composition. I-Ching switched on the light. And miracle happened to a boy from Xsiaolin village: The moon came down to him from Heaven!

Under broken bridge. Maolin
 | |
I embrace the moon on a big rock The rock was cast out from the heaven And thrown into the valley by typhoon My embrace is strong and powerful But still unable to keep the fog in my hands as life passed away.

Dump. Daliao
 |
I wandered on the land of waste things Looking for a lost love Suddenly I saw the light Someone threw the moon as today's unnecessary poetic symbol I picked it up and put in my heart Magic silver light beamed from every pore of my skin Once more once more I'm the moon for you Leonid Tishkov.

Shelter. Qijin
 |
On the shore of this island The army left an abandoned bunker It became a shelter for the moon during the day And a stairway in the night. Her ray is reflected by the empty cooper shell Private Moon by Leonid Tishkov Taiwan trip 2012 Photo Po-I Chen |

On the boat.Ziguan

We are
waiting with the moon
For the fishermen
returning late.
Red flags
and the yellow moon
Are reflected
in the sea.
Where is my reflection?
Has it
fled with Chang'e?

At clay oven. Dashu. Sanhe Kilns
 | |
The mountains parted and the moon came out of the clouds. Now my path is clear and straight. But my life may not be long enough To get the lighthouse Where three rivers join together

Moon World.Tianliao
 | ||
The lake filled with peace And me too. I caught a fish but catch the moon. Would stay here forever, But there will come a new scurry day And the moon run away! |

The Crane for the Moon. Xiaogang container yard
 |
Autumn swans are all gone.
I am sick at inappropriate time,
Everyone has gone to the moon for a feast.
I ask my close friends
To steal the moon
And hang it on my window.

Sugar moon.Ciaotou Sugar factory
 | |
The wind and rain making noise all night The sea of fallen leaves around. See the sugar moon in gold waves Jump toward her And surely drown in gold leaf Because I don't know how swim. |
Metal forest. Shipyard
 | |
My world is covered by a metal forest And the moon stuck in the rusty trees. Risking my life I will go and release her even if I will die! My barren life in the metal woods.

At the straw store. Cishan
 |
Hats, bags
and umbrellas are all for sale
They are
made of straws and almost free!
Buy
something, strange foreigner!
Except
that the moon will be never yours
You can
only take away some moonlight

Homecoming. Meinong tobacco barns
 |
I
returned to my empty home remembering
My
father brought this firewood.
The unused
cold furnace
Was like
my fireless, empty heart.
But the
moon will bring a new fire
To me and
warm me again.

House for the moon. Meinong
 |
On the
roof of my run-down home,
There
are houses for birds
At a
higher place I built a house for the moon,
My heavenly friend.
I am happy
to stay on the broken Earth
As long
as the moon does not leave me.

Who washed ashore? Sizihwan
Was washed ashore of mine
The dead Tree and the live Moon.
Or me was washed to their shores
Me half-dead poet-nomad

Stray Cats. Shanhai
 |
At the top of the steps of a seaside temple
(How did I get here?) Stray cats treated me as a close friend And my moon, the best friend for all wanderers. Go where ever you want, The moon will never leave you! Leonid Tishkov.Private Moon.Kaohsiung.2012 |

Farewell to the Moon. Sizihwan
 |
The moon becomes brighter
Before she rises to the sky.
Which way should I take? By what river will I meet her? An empty boat berthed the quay Looks just like the moon.
