The Swarovski Kristallwelten Museum (Swarovski Crystal Worlds) has existed in Austria for fifteen years already, which is, in fact, a demonstration of the achievements and capabilities of this world famous company. For example, this is where a quarter-million-crystal chandelier is located. And this year a series of works under the general title "Home Videos" from the Russian art group "Blue Noses" appeared in this museum.
The infamous art duo Blue Noses (remember the photo with the kissing police officers, which a few years ago caused a storm of indignation among the Minister of Culture of Russia) through Home Videos invites Swarovski Kristallwelten visitors to travel a little around the world without leaving the walls of the named museum.
They created four objects from Swarovski crystals, which are miniature copies of four famous monuments of history and architecture: the Taj Mahal (India), the Great Pyramid of Cheops (Egypt), the Empire State Building (United States of America) and the Lenin Mausoleum (Russia).
Each of these "attractions" is crafted from a single Swarovski crystal. Thus, the company clearly demonstrates that it knows how to create not only small "glass" for not very expensive accessories, but also real works of art, complex models.
In general, the Swarovski Kristallwelten Museum itself was created precisely for this purpose. A series of Home Videos from the Russian art group Blue Noses is just another confirmation of the company's technological capabilities.

People are dying for the crystal. Deadly installations from Swarovski crystals
Crystals from Swarovski have recently ceased to be real jewelry. Rather, they are perceived as jewelry for glamorous girls and for those who do not have enough money for precious stones. But the Italian artist Nicola Bolla uses Swarovski glass to create real artistic wonders that have nothing to do with the concept of "glamor"
Flash memory: unfinished sculptures of people and horses from the art trio Unmask Group
Artists, poets, sculptors - in fact, all creative people prefer not to show the public their unfinished work. Firstly, one cannot judge the whole by seeing only a part, secondly, it is not known how the inspiration will behave, and whether it will leave the author just before the finish, and thirdly, there is always the possibility that the author will radically change the concept of his work , and then what has already been shown will lose its relevance. The Beijing trio of sculptors called the Unmask Group, on the other hand, has
Portraits and other paintings from molten and rolled plasticine. Creativity of the Mondongo art group
I can confidently assume that working with plasticine, forming from it people and animals, plants and fruits, buildings and cars, had, if not everyone, then every second person, and if not in kindergarten, then in the lower grades.
