El vídeo Russian Museum, de l’artista Olga Chernysheva, retrata el principi romàntic de «la reflexió» d’una manera poètica. L’artista fa un recorregut amb una càmera portàtil pel Museu Rus de Sant Petersburg, però no mostra tant els quadres exposats, com les imatges que reflecteixen els marcs: jovenetes moscovites amb texans ajustats i sabates de taló que corren a través de les obres de pintors russos, vigilants de seguretat que es perden entre un mar de senyors vestits de carrer… I, de cop, tornen a aparèixer nous quadres: quadres que generen quadres en un bucle infinit.
Olga Chernysheva és un nom destacat de la generació moscovita dels anys 90. L’artista va fer-se popular durant un període de grans canvis polítics i culturals determinats per les difícils reformes del sistema soviètic i els problemes econòmics de gran part de la població. La seva obra ―que inclou tant assajos curts com imatges fixes i en moviment― es basa en l’observació detallada de la realitat que l’envolta. Chernysheva va néixer a Moscou el 1962. Va estudiar a l’Institut Gerasimov de Cinematografia de Moscou (especialitat en Animació) i a la Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten d’Amsterdam. Va representar Rússia a la Biennal de Venècia del 2001. Les seves obres han estat exposades a la 56a Biennal de Venècia (2015), a la Manifesta 10 de Sant Petersburg (2014) i a la 1a Triennal de Bergen, Noruega (2013) .

Olga Chernysheva is a leading name from the Moscow generation emerging in the 90s who made a name for herself during a period of great political and cultural changes, which were, however, partly determined by the difficult reforms of the Soviet system and the economic problems that affected a large part of the population. Her work in different media – including very short essays which she combines with still or moving images – is based on a close observation of the reality around her. Chernysheva was born in Moscow in 1962. She studied in Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography in Moscow (specialization Animation) and in the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. She represented Russia at the Venice Biennale of 2001. Her works were displayed at the 56th Venice Biennale (2015), Manifesta 10 in Saint-Petersburg (2014), 1st Bergen Triennale, Bergen, Norway (2013).

A couple, Igor and Tatiana, take a ride on the Vologda River on the crowded “Dionysus” boat. In the summer, the boat goes up the river to the monastery and back every night. The boat sets sail, and the entertainment program begins, an entertainer sings and a there is a sky dance ballet. First, they sing a Romani song. Then, the song Oh, Delightful Russian Nights, adored by Tatiana, is put on. The entertainer continues to sing, and some people start dancing. Then there is a song about the city, Vologda. Igor and Tatiana are smoking and looking at the riverbank where people stand or sit there, some are fishing while others are drinking. They wave to the people on the boat and the passengers wave back at them. Igor and Tatiana dance near their table and a woman drops her purse into the water, so the boat stops and goes back to that spot. The purse is picked up with a hook. The boat continues its journey. Igor and Tatiana sit down at their table, drink, eat and then start to dance to a slow song. After they finish the bottle, they start to wave to someone on the riverbank again, and people wave back at them. Then Igor gets up and Tatiana asks him: “Where are you going?” He smiles and tells her: “Wait here. I will be back in a minute”. The sky dance ballet appears again, a guy and a girl, both in black. The entertainer says: “Look, we are passing by the Spaso-Prilutsky monastery.” Igor comes back. The music stops, and the entertainer says that the next song will be for Tanyushka (the wife), and that Igor wants to wish her a happy Social Workers’ day. The music starts and they begin dancing again. Then the boat stops and everyone starts getting off. Igor says it was a good day and Tatiana agrees.
