Looking at the world with the eyes of unexperienced child, whose life is a constant adventure and discovery.

Dopludό Collective was founded in St. Petersburg in 2006. Word «Dopludό» is a phonetic spelling of the French - «two plus two»... The basis of the name is an absurd mathematical formula «2+2=5», which has been proved several times and is a potential key to reconsider all mathematics from the beginning.
— We are inspired by such phenomena, as deliberate violation of logic rules. Two plus two might equal not only four or five, it could be decided on your own, and starting from this point moved further, how far? - Everyone decides himself.
Dopludό teammates enjoy working with the images from magic fairy tales, folk elements, mystical and more or less abstract content, usually taking a position of looking at the world with the eyes of unexperienced child, whose life is a constant adventure and discovery. In working with meaning, main themes of collective\'s works are: convention of borders, prevalence of essence over existence, primacy of consciousness over a matter. Together they work on installations, objects, illustrations, interiors and public projects in cold Russia and Scandinavia.
Their latest project is D* Club & Cafe in St Petersburg. Its interior serves two functions: a cafe in the day-time and a club at night. Most of the surfaces are painted white in order to feel the size of the room in the daylight. Projected lighting at night absolutely changes the atmosphere. Dominating laconic rounded forms interact with elements of drawings. The color solution is black and white.
