An exhibition dedicated to childhood memories of early 20th-century Russian poets, writers, and artists — including Alexander Benois, Osip Mandelstam, Alexander Grin, Marina Tsvetaeva, Mikhail Bulgakov, and Anna Akhmatova — took the form of a series of installations hidden inside the furniture of the living room and hallway of Bulgakov’s apartment.
Visitors, guided by sounds and beams of light escaping through cracks and keyholes, opened drawers and cabinet doors of sideboards, chests, dressers, shelves, and wardrobes.
Scents, sounds, and tactile sensations — particularly vivid in childhood memory — accompanied objects, texts, and photographs, allowing visitors to enter these hidden recollections and gently release them.
