Natassa Poulantza S.L.K.J.P. (Stalin.Lenin.Kalinin.Jackson.Pollock), 2014 / St. Petersburg (Музей искусства Санкт-Петербурга XX-XXI веков) 

Digital print on archival paper, 95X200 cm. Since 2010, Natasha Poulantza presents a series of works entitled "It's All Lie" which explores issues related to knowledge, communication, memory function, the endoscopic process of artistic production. In her composition she creates an "untimely encounter": the figures of Lenin, Stalin, and Kalinin, the leading figures of the October Revolution, coexist with a painting composition by American Jackson Pollock (key representative of the Movement of Abstract Expressionism), suggesting a tour of a world where certainties are subverted, the boundaries between truth and lie are fluid and constantly redefined.
