Ilya Kabakov is one of the most interesting artists for me, both Soviet and post-Soviet space, especially my fellow countryman from Dnepropetrovsk. I like his wonderful project “Not everyone will be taken to the future”, where the initial division of all people into three categories is laid: who will take, whom they will take, who will not. Hence the phobia: jump into the last car to become a brand, and there you can relax). But then, in old age, close your eyes and calmly scroll through your next conceptual project and at the same time, like Einstein, show the world the language, or you can smile, as in Rembrandt’s last self-portrait.
