There is a center coat which is longthed with 26 front parts of found coats. It is a very long "black market coat" I fix underneath a aeroflot airplane in VDNH. I collect all the waste around every 15 minutes and present it in the inlet of this large coat as precious. The long installation is framed by fluorescent yellow tape. The VDNH is a park similar area with many buildings in Stalin stile. This was the official form for all partners of the communist regime to show up. Now it is the biggest department store in Moscow. Tiny fairy stands are put into the impressive buildings, to tiny, not to look sweet and lost. So I did a performance about the old powerful symbols who still are present and have their impressive part and the new free, individual market situation, you can have everything, but it still looks so desoriented and alien in Russia.
