"Her installation Gifts. Play Modules refers to a peculiar obsession of Russian authorities with enclosure of public spaces. An integral and perhaps the most striking element of Russian urbanism, fences of all kinds (known in Russian as ‘забор/zabor’) surround buildings, lawns, flower beds and pavements. Their yellow and green colour scheme is supposed to imitate natural colours, but instead, it only emphasises the absurdity of their omnipresence in residential areas. Presenting the extensive typology of ‘zabor’ in a series of postcards and imitating the technique and appearance of these barriers in her playful modules, Katya Ev undertakes the deconstruction of this symbol of protection and
control." Ekaterina Vorontsova, 2021
