The exhibition alludes to the image of the golden egg from the Russian fairy tale The Little Hen Ryaba and reflects the artists' contemplation of accelerating time and events that defy logical explanation.
Triumph Gallery presents a solo project by the art collective GUY (Egor Efremov, Maria Plaksina), NESYOTSYA. The exhibition alludes to the image of the golden egg from the Russian fairy tale The Little Hen Ryaba and reflects the artists' contemplation of accelerating time and events that defy logical explanation.
Despite its popularity, the old tale The Little Hen Ryaba does not have a single, fixed interpretation. In its fuller and lesser-known version, the broken egg sets off a chain of tragic events: a single incident leads to the collapse of the entire world. The encounter with the golden egg becomes an extraordinary event that the characters are unable to cope with.

Drawing on the theories of Vladimir Propp, the members of the GUY collective consider the egg as a vessel of life. In the exhibition, the artists construct a cosmogonic model: a sequence of stages of creation, symbolically articulated through scenes from The Little Hen Ryaba, is transformed into parts of a total installation. The appearance and disappearance of the golden egg in the tale exemplify an encounter with the inexplicable, as well as an attempt to accept and comprehend it. In this way, the fairy tale—and, by extension, the exhibition—becomes a narrative about the balance between life and death, the role of chance, and the readiness to endure turning points.

The art collective GUY (Egor Efremov, Maria Plaksina) creates total installations and public art, working primarily with sculpture and ceramics. In their practice, the artists use organic materials that form the basis of a distinctive sculptural technique, resembling the construction of swallow nests. In their characters, familiar images merge with fantastical elements. GUY explores mythology, the interaction of different cultures, and the processes shaping human identity.
