Dmitry Bulin: Codex Rescriptus
The Latin name of Dmitry Bulin鈥檚 project 鈥楥odex Rescriptus鈥� refers to the Greek word 鈥榩alimpsest鈥�. Historically this designed a manuscript written on parchment that had already been used for the same purpose. Repurposing was also current in the Middle Ages, when new paintings were superimposed on older murals in churches, or on icon images.
The word 鈥榗odex鈥� simultaneously means both a book, and a set of established rules and norms, including cultural, behavioural and religious tenets.
In the three series included in the book and presented at the exhibition, Dmitry Bulin constructs a dialogue with artworks from the Northern Renaissance and Italian Renaissance, as well as with cinema from the first third of the 20th century.
