Syirhei Hudzilin sells photo with pasted up white-red-white flag to Ǔ gallery
Syarhei Hudzilin’s famous photo “No Words (censored)” showing an employee of the Belarusian National Art Museum pasting up a white-red-white flag has been sold to Ǔ gallery, the photographer wrote on Facebook.
"The photo belongs to Ǔ gallery now. I am a bit tired and have decided to give it to those who can use it better. I will not announce the sum of the deal. Autumn shalom,” Syarhei Hudzilin wrote.
Syarhei Hudzilin had been making his series NO WORDS for a few years. It showed employees of the communal services removing graffiti in different Belarusian cities. An employee of the National Art Museum came up to one of the photos on September 10, 2014 and pasted up the opposition white-red-white flag that is unofficially forbidden in Belarus.
A passer-by photographed the moment. The censored picture is an art object now.

Выпадковы наведнік выставы зняў працэс замалёўкі на відэа. Адцэнзураваную працу атрымалася захаваць, і цяпер яна дэманструецца на выставах як самастойны арт-аб'ект.
