"Space Iris" by video artist Rus is a mesmerizing sight. He explains:
"This abstract 8K video was inspired by the visual similarity of the cosmic nebula and the iris of the eye.
The iris, with its intricate patterns and colors, shares a striking resemblance to the vibrant and colorful cosmic nebula. Just as the eye is a window to the soul, the nebula serves as a window to the vast universe beyond. Both the iris and the cosmic nebula contain a variety of hues and shades that blend and dance together to create a unique and mesmerizing visual display. The iris's delicate curves and lines mirror the sweeping curves and swirls of the nebula's gaseous clouds. The iris, with its distinctive central pupil, recalls the cosmic nebula's central star or black hole, around which the colorful gases and dust swirl.
The cosmic nebula and the iris share a deep artistic connection, as both offer a glimpse into something beyond ourselves, whether it is the inner world of emotions and thoughts or the vast expanse of the cosmos."

"Over Your Skin"
"Over Your Skin," an experimental film of paint on skin by artist Rus Khasanov.
"The idea to shoot macro video with skin, according to the folds of which flowing paint, came to my mind in 2014. I often work with paints and my hands are constantly stained dirty, because I do not wear latex gloves while working. One day, I just looked at my hands dirty with paint and I liked the way the colors blended, the way they filled the folds on my palm.
After 3 years, I decided to develop this idea and shoot a video in which the paint will flow not only on the hands but also on the other parts of the body, I wanted to explore how different patterns on different areas of human skin. Under the macro lens it looks like satellite images where the folds of the skin looks as a riverbed along which multicolored river flow.
Basically in the video appears fingers, palms, those places of skin where there are more deep folds.
The biggest technical challenge was to minimize the effect of jitter, because it is impossible to get a person to stand still as a statue and not breathe for several minutes. Especially under the macro lens, shaking of the skin and defocusing are clearly visible. A lot of footage was removed for these reasons. I think that the video included not more than 8 percent of all footage. Most of the footage with the lips were removed, the final video included only 3 footage, and we devoted 3 sessions to this shooting and they were the most painful for the model, because the paint constantly pour into the mouth."
