Ilya Kabakov: A Universal System for Depicting Everything

by Boris Groys

On This Page

Description

In this album, Ilya Kabakov adopts the position of a fictive artist whose "Universal System for Depicting Everything" constitutes what he describes as "an exploration of some sort of fantastic system, namely, a system for a view from the fourth dimension. It is an elaboration, in several sketches, of how our reality, the different qualities of our reality, can be seen from this dimension."
