Don Quixote. Chapter In Which…
2019
(In collaboration with Nikita Seleznev)
This is an adventure exhibition, an unpublished chapter of a novel or a life story, where reality and fantasy go hand in hand, inviting the viewer to find differences by yourself.

Photo archives, letters, sculptures and video materials tell true and fictional stories about exploits and dreams, experiences and impressions.
