Description of the project (source: artkurator.com):

M. Borozna has been photographing an East Belarusian village with an exclusively continental name "America" ​​for a number of years. "It's amazing that its name has been preserved through the times of erasing historical names from the memory," the artist writes in the text for the exhibition. "I'm not really interested in who and why called this village that, I didn't want to artificially focus attention on something entertaining, journalistic in this landscape. Because of this, you can not see the main thing." M. Borozna filmed Belarusian America and then, when there were houses in it, people lived, there was a road sign "America"; I also filmed later, when the houses began to collapse, when only one, the last "American" remained; filmed when the village was gone. The artist was both a photographer and curator of his own project. This project also included the action "Closing Belarusian America", which took place in 1997 in the village itself.

The project "My America" ​​was exhibited in Minsk in the autumn of 1998, and it was this exposition that was then presented in Dortmund. At the exhibition it was possible to see not only chronicle and documentary filming, but also photography using archival materials, fragments of old maps and sheets of yellowed books, and filming of the action "Closing Belarusian America". The Dortmund exhibition, like the one in Minsk before, aroused great interest precisely because of the non-standard approach of the author and the breadth of creative thinking. Of course, the then special interest of German society in the countries of Eastern Europe also played its role. Subsequently, the revised and expanded project was shown as part of the 8th Baltic Triennial of Contemporary Art in Vilnius in 2000; location shooting and work on the project continues to this day.
