Lisa Anisimova, a student at the Costume Design Institute of the St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technology and Design, became the costume designer of the new project "Fairy Bridge", implemented by the artist together with Alfa-Bank.

"The Fabulous Bridge" is an interpretation of a journey to China in search of a point of contact between cultures through art. It is based on two stories: the Russian "Frog Princess" and the Chinese legend of the White Snake.

"While working on the project, I became more and more convinced of how close the fabulous traditions of Russia and China are to each other. Despite the difference in languages and eras, we are united by common images, symbols and archetypes — the very meanings that are read by the heart. For me, they have become not just plots, but an artistic space of dialogue, where the mythology of the two countries is combined in a modern visual expression and turns into a bridge between cultures," says Lisa.

The Fairytale Bridge project was implemented in China jointly with Alfa-Bank and became part of the bank's international representative initiatives. The artistic materials of the project are used in communication with Chinese partners as a visual expression of the dialogue between the cultures of Russia and China.
