"The work was done in a workshop rented on the premises of the former Minsk "Gorizont" factory, which produced televisions. In fact, this is the view from the window of this room. The large windows of the former factory have uneven glass thickness, so the image outside the window narrows in some places and widens in others. When you look through them, you see pedestrians whose bodies are shortened and lengthened as they move. The long distance gives the impression that someone is in an aquarium, or an observer in a room, or a pedestrian on the street. You can still breathe at the window and leave a fingerprint on the foggy glass with an absurd command for the silent pedestrian-fish" Raman Axionau
