"" Red Square. "I shot this series in 1988 and totally did not think that it will have a sequel. We often try to think about what was done to us a lot of interesting and unexpected, the second series came quite by accident , although perhaps this is something for which I have all this and did. In 1990, I decided to take a picture of a self-portrait. I shot it every day for a single photo. And a couple of weeks, I clearly understood that the pictures it just like that - impossible, as I originally conceived it to be a project that will be exhibited in the future. I thought of six small images printed on a sheet format 40 x 30, and the fact that they have to interact with each other.

The idea was to rope in some podsmotrena Japanese. 1990 was the year of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Withdrawal of the rope, originally stretched in the form of stars, - the result was removing the shackles. On the floor, conditionally speaking, a paper in the shape of the flag, I just threw it on the floor is not very clean in the workshop, as their bare feet up on him I did not want. And in the end turned out very funny. The red rectangle in the center of the image - is part of a black-and-white photography, only colored in red aniline and glued on top of rubber cement. This is a collage, but if you tear off the top layer, there will be the same in black and white. "
