Garage Museum of contemporary art invited me to become a part of an inaugural edition of their art book project, an opportunity I gladly took.

After a year of social experimentation, both egalitarian and autocratic, Svobodny Koptevoland physically elevated itself and disappeared into the clouds.

I went with an idea that was sitting in my sketchbooks since Ph.D. days when oftentimes my readings went not much deeper than an acknowledgements section.

I produced a looped narrative, hinting at some research, which never actually manifests itself. The number of individuals and institutions mentioned suggests a truly Gargantuan academic effort, but what it is exactly about one can only guess...

Here I talk about the project im more detail.
