Sasha Katz for Burberry
Digital artist Sasha Katz (known to you by our exhibition @digital.decade Cyberia 2017) had a quick call from Opera Illustration to create few works for @Burberry in a topic of “Togetherness”. The results went beyond reality
CODA - Geometric Furniture Installation
“CODA installation” was a photoshoot created by photographer Kamilla Hanapova for industrial and interior designer Daria Zinovatnaya in support of her unique cupboard release as well as other objects. The goal of an installation was to show bright pieces of geometry furniture, merging their forms in order to show the character and peculiarity of each item.
The Stories
Following the words of director Mikhail Konoplev - “The goal was to develop main titles for a film, based on a general concept and drama. “The Stories” film is based on the confrontation of a man and a woman. At the end of each story, the woman won, and the man suffered or even died. And in one story, a man still prevailed. I wanted to draw a metaphorical analogy between our story and the myth of the jellyfish Gorgon and Perseus. As well as the main objects that affect what is happening.”
KIRO ╳ Zhostovo
Ongoing collaboration “KIRO ╳ Zhostovo” is a clear example of how traditional folk art integrates with contemporary art. Abstract artworks of Irina Kiro (from her series “Emotionalia” she created during art residency at Mas els Igols, Spain) found new meanings as they transformed as an artistic reflection of traditional Zhosotovo painting on metal trays. The new visual meaning is painstakingly reproduced by masters from Zhosotovo factory strictly following classic cannons of 19 century.

Letter, Lotus and Legend
The Moscow-based creative design studio Superdesigners just released their latest passion project “Letter, Lotus and Legend”, a four-month odyssey into the creative process that weaves “the martial grace of the samurai with the textures and fabrics of a hi-tech clothing brand.” The result is a stunning 3D video of what could be the textures & fabrics trend directions for a hi-tech clothing company.
“Martial arts have always been a breath of fresh air for western culture. Starting with the first American film adaptations about the samurai, a unified philosophy of perfecting one’s mind and spirit has been accreting additional cultural layers without losing its distinct archaic character.
We decided to distill this cluster of meaning into striking choreography familiar from films, enrobing it in eclectic technological shapes.
This piece is about how incessant contradiction and conflict within our psyche lead to feelings of dismay; these feelings are then inevitably expressed through violence and struggle, so that a fragile balance may once again be restored.”

The Comfort Zone by Anna Radchenko
Exceptional photographer and our friend Anna Radchenko reflects on isolation and social distancing through photography with her “The Comfort Zone” series
What does isolation mean to us? How do we feel about it once it’s imposed and our freedom is
taken away?
“Although these photos were shot before the
international lockdown, they’ve become even more relevant in the current landscape. Much of
what we took for granted, including the freedom to leave our homes, go to work and meet people,
has been replaced by a growing feeling of uncertainty and confinement. We find ourselves in an
alternative reality, where we have to change our habits and some of our traits as we are spending
so much time on our own”
Norr Packaging by Slava Vovk
Russian designer Slava Vovk shared his latest branding work made for NORR. It is a producer of canned seafood from Sweden, 100% natural product from the north, nothing more and nothing less. The assortment consists of large and small species of marine fish, as well as delicacies, delicious mollusks and crabs.
"NORR" in Swedish means "north", the name sets the atmosphere of minimalism, as a guide for the design of the entire packaging line.
The design and materials of the outer and inner packaging interact in contrasts. Bright outside, like a variety of marine fauna, and white inside, like frosty northern nature.
LOGOS Identity by Roma Erohnovich
“Logos” is a computational and mathematical package used for modelling physical processes in aviation and automotive industries, nuclear power, rocket and space industry. This is the first digital product presented by Rosatom State Nuclear Energy Corporation, the Russian Federal Nuclear Center and the All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Physics.
“Logos” identity is a modern fresh twist on Russian design, with all its history and well-established principles. It represents a cult-like dry technical design and emotional Russian soul, it is function multiplied by feeling, a geek engineer who found the meaning of life in formulas.
Visual language techniques were borrowed from technical design. The aesthetics of simple layouts, infographics, technical fonts, and procedural design are reflected in the corporate font, iconography, and layout principles. A signature element is a heat map that reflects the idea of a function and brings color and emotion into the dry technical design. It gives us the opportunity to look at the product through the eyes of an engineer, as well as it reflects the objectives of the product that are modeling of physical processes.

Silk Art Installation by Pokras Lampas
Pokras Lampas performed large silk-based calligraphy art installation presented in the Old House in Shanghai, China
“CHINA, as the epicenter of work with silk, has historically been a place of strength, knowledge and inspiration associated with silk-based arts and crafts, therefore it is symbolic for me to present my first project with this material there.
Working with fashion 5 recent years, I’ve often seen great works with fabrics: prints, patterns, color, rhythm, texture — which is connected with creating bold images and connected not only with art or fashion, but also with non-verbal communication in the new environments, because the artwork speaks of itself better than any words”
