The heroic age, having bypassed with its measured tread from the Hellenic mythology and the gladiators of Ancient Rome, flashed as a bright, but sunset 24-frame glow on Hollywood screens in the 80-90s. The song about the Last Hero of the last moments of the era of patriarchal masculinity subsides... The symbol of today is the iron stilleto heel of feminism under the rainbow of tolerance trampling the fallen terminator. Like the giant steamship Titanic, having gone through the evolutionary chain from ancient Greek myths to screen images, the era of heroes is leaving the stage of history. Yet over the reality itself, in its original understanding, where Pelevin’s «object and subject number one» dominated, digital waves are concatenating. Through them, only the thumb of «everything is OK» can be seen, standing on its command bridge, the Last Titan. Reality, recently capable of the triumph of incarnation, the anthem of corporality, sinks to the bottom, slowly becoming covered with a layer of silt from the waste of the consumption era and digital rust... The fallen one contemplates the sunset, indifferently turning away from the world collapsing under Khokhloma-painted explosions, which again needs to be saved. Today there are those who can do it. Near the glasses frames, instead of the inscription «target detected», there also remains only the Khokhloma pattern ... Andrey Kartashov graduated from the A.
