Homoleilus is a musical project by our resident artist who publishes his artworks under the pseudonym
Zazar.
Homoleilus/Zazar was born in Makhachkala in 1990. He has been drawing since childhood. Trained as a doctor, he continues to work in the field. During his student years, he became interested in the interaction and correlation between the body and its environment—its position in space and connection to it. Eventually, this led him to reject Kantian correlationism and return to "things in themselves" in the spirit of phenomenology.
In 2016, symptoms of an unspecified mental disorder emerged, accompanied by terrifying "attacks"—tormenting streams of uncontrollable thought-forms. Today, the artist has been in stable condition for a long time.
Zazar has been making music since the age of 16, releasing around six albums spanning various genres, from experimental electronics to instrumental music. However, after discovering the band "я слева сверху", he realized that it wasn't music in the traditional sense but rather thought abstractly conveyed through sound. This revelation shifted his focus to conceptual visual art, aiming to express thought itself.
