    The door is an opportunity of communication, going out or entering some kind of space; it is an universal teleportational channel or portal into virtual reality. Doors, usually opening or closing some apertures in the walls, evolve and become a wall themselves due to the transformations of the laws of common sense. In the blocked state, the cacophony of the door handles becomes the only form of protest and resistance.
In the April 2018, Roskomnadzor (the Russian internet censorship legal body) has blocked over 15 millions of IP addresses in Russia, chasing the Telegram traffic.
    This video work about blocking is also a metaphor for other processes taking place in the country and attempts to counter them.
