Sebastian

The artist’s friend invited him to take part in her graduate curatorial group show Dressed in White at Bard College, New York. At that time, the artist was drawn to the interplay of images of the poet Aleksandr Vertinsky, the singer Georg Ots, and the mythological figure Sebastian. In Bratkov’s performance, however, tomatoes were used instead of arrows. Later, he also presented a similar performance in Kiev.
