I walk around two squares. There's a whole world around me, and inside me there's a void the size of the universe. As beautiful as the world around me is, so ugly am I. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, timidity in the heart of the sufferer.

I want to believe in positive attitudes, I want to get out of the vicious circle. I have tried to look for a way out, but I have realized that there is no way out. I am my own trap, just as you are mine, or I am yours. Inside, I am free, but I have nothing to breathe and nowhere to go. I am free, but I don't know where to put myself. I walk two squares, stimulating my calf muscles, they say it lifts my spirits. I'm trying to get better, but I just don't accept myself anymore. I want someone to come, someone to help me, someone to take responsibility. Just a little bit, just not even a little bit. I'm so tired of being free.

The site-specific exhibit was held on the grounds of a former prison ensemble, under the conditions of an "extreme" three-day residency in the town of Borovsk.
