Transformative world provides no place stable and safe enough to stay. Constant reproduction of idols, fantasies, images, dreams which are mostly imposed by environment, creates some kind of temporary illusion of safety that doesn't relate to objective reality and gives an opportunity to hide from surrounding world.
City which seemed to be safe, shakes and melts as a dream faded away at the sunrise.
A person like a spinning top trying to hold on to the stable ground of hopes, memories, faith for better times and keep balance.
Artists represent «sugar city» as a metaphors of today's uncertainty and illusion of comfortable existence. Sugar as a symbol of guilty pleasure, also instability, it's one the main harmful product in the consumption chain, it also awakes the sweetest memories of the childhood especially of each post Soviet Union kid who grew up on cotton candy and cock shaped lollipops.
