SUPREMATISM. The Day Before

About this title

This short-length film is an architectural and visual experiment in the creation of spatial compositions based on the suprematic paintings from the exhibition “The last futuristic exhibition of paintings 0.10”, or simply, “Zero-ten”. It was an art exhibition which took place in Petrograd within the period between December 19, 1915 and January 17, 1916. The exhibition featured 36 works by Kazimir Malevich and his associates. Through it, Suprematism was presented as a new direction. It was named after the organizers' idea to complete the futuristic period in Russian painting and to mark the beginning of Suprematism. In the red corner of the room, traditional for the icon in an Orthodox house, was placed the "Black Square".
