Recombination 2. The value of Recombination in physics is the disappearance of a pair of free carriers of the opposite charge in a medium with the release of energy. The energy liberated leaves the object breathless, alive or neutral, each object has a certain energy reserve. This video by imposing and quickly changing frames creates the impression of release, the exit from its usual (statics of the monument of architecture The Alexander Column) state of rest in another spatial dimension, the vertical is replaced by the horizontal, time is stretched, breaks ties, creates new ones, the object is interpreted in a new way.

#PalaceSquare. Russian: #ДворцI ваяплoщадь, tr. Dvortsovaya Ploshchad, connecting #NevskyProspekt with Palace Bridge leading to #Vasilievsky Island, is the central city square of St Petersburg and of the former #RussianEmpire. It was the setting of many events of worldwide significance, including the Bloody Sunday (1905) and the October Revolution of 1917. The earliest and most celebrated building on the square is the baroque white-and-azure Winter Palace of Russian tsars (1754–62), which gave the square its name. Although the adjacent buildings are designed in the Neoclassical style, they perfectly match the palace in their scale, rhythm, and monumentality. The opposite, southern side of the square was designed in the shape of an arc by #GeorgevonVelten in the late 18th century. These plans were executed half a century later, when #AlexanderI of Russia envisaged the square as a vast monument to the Russian victory over #Napoleon and commissioned #CarloRossi to design the bow-shaped Empire-style Building of the General Staff (1819–29), which centers on a double triumphal arch crowned with a Roman quadriga. The centre of the square is marked with the #AlexanderColumn (1830–34), designed by #AugustedeMontferrand. This red granite column (the tallest of its kind in the world) is 47.5 metres high and weighs some 500 tons. It is set so well that no attachment to the base is needed. The eastern side of the square is occupied by #AlessandroBrullo's building of the Guards Corps Headquarters (1837–43). The western side, however, opens towards #AdmiraltySquare, thus making the Palace Square a vital part of the grand suite of St Petersburg squares. The square also serves as open-air venue for concerts by international acts, including #AndreaBocelli, #RogerWaters, #TheRollingStones, #ACDC, #DuranDuran, #Anastacia, #EltonJohn, #PaulMcCartney, #Shakira, #Madonna, #Sting. - Wiki #ChappyLeaks ®&©™ (at Дворцовая Площадь, Санкт-Петербург)
