Her video "Bruner'$ Trial," premiered at TV Gallery, Moscow in 1998, and was then purchased by the Museum of Modern Art, New York (MOMA) [www.moma.org]. The script of "Bruner’$ Trial" is based on the true-life scandalous incident, which received international coverage. Russian artist Alexander Brener vandalized a masterpiece by Kazimir Malevich in Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. For painting a green $ sign on the canvas the extremist was sentenced to half-a-year imprisonment. "The Authors of the film made an ironic statement of the story, almost in "Mr. Bin" style. Under the influence of their protagonist’s action The European Union makes a decision to abolish the money. People are rejoicing and tear notes into pieces. If the film was out two years ago Brener had been acquitted of the crime for sure." (PREMIER Magazine, August, 1998).
