Hi everyone,
I'm searching for any copies (VHS, digitized, even low-quality) of the early experimental films and video works by Oleg Mavromatti (Олег Мавроматти), a Russian performance artist and filmmaker associated with the SUPER NOVA group. Many of these are considered lost media or exist only in private archives/police storage from the 90s.
Here’s the list I’m looking for:
Черви Бенеттона (Benetton Worms / Chervi Benettona, 1989)
Основное условие смерть (The Main Condition is Death, 1994)
Не ищите эту передачу в программе (Don’t Look for This Show in the Programme, 1995)
Дьявольский гриб (Devil’s Mushroom, 1995)
Грибы-птицееды (Tarantula Mushrooms, 1996)
Проклятье черного - 108 (Curse of the Black - 108, 1996)
11 писем внутрь (11 Letters Inside, 1996)
Тайная эстетика марсианских шпионов (The Secret Aesthetic of the Martian Spies, original, 1996–1998)
Ядерная нестабильность (Nuclear Instability, 1997)
План – 999 (Plan 999, 1998)
Постмодернисты в Аду (Postmodernists in Hell, 1999)
Холст Масло (Oil on Canvas / Holst Maslo, 2000)
Later works like Bastards (Viblyadki) or The Green Elephant (which he produced) are more known, but these early ones are extremely obscure.
If anyone has leads, private archives, contacts, or even fragments — please share. Also interested in any info from Russian TV archives, police seizures (90s radical art scene), or collectors.
