Liena Bondare has created an iconostasis of childhood heroes. Her story is about facing the cartoon characters from opposite ideological encampments: the transfer stickers of Mickey Mouse made to forget Topple (or Cheburashka), and Mickey’s admirable self-confidence and cheerfulness was surprising in contrast with perplexed Topple and depressive, complicated Winnie-the-Pooh of the Soviet animation. In this work Liena Bondare has employed photorealist form by combining the image from transfers of photo prints.
