An accidental discovery of a pile of old papers and manuscripts found in an abandoned Neptun swimming pool on the Kacha river bank became a departure point for this research. For a week it lead the curator along the weird trajectories and opened the pages of Krasnoyarsk life of the last three decades. Self-taught poets, librarians of local history departments, composer and healer that doesn't charge for his service became the voices that built an ambivalent portrait of a woman that once lived - Paizulaeva Galina Vasilievna.

'Guelder-rose in the Fog' is an attempt to reconstruct a biography and artistic path of a wonder woman, a self-trained medium who accepted indoctrinations from 'above' and composed hundreds of lyrics in a trance state - through found objects, archive documents and publications.

The exhibition is built as a succession of islands composed of original artefacts that were collected during the research. Each 'island' illustrates different aspects of Paizulaeva life - her work in Krasnoyarsk Institute of Anilolgy, musical and literary art, healing. An autonarrative text, a zine in 9 chapters, help the viewer to navigate through them. 'Guelder-rose in the Fog', a name of the song composed by Galina and formatted by Krasnoyarsk composer Vladimir Ponomarev, serves as a poetic metaphor of the project and presents an image of a person blurred by the fog of time.
