An Installation of Seven Objects Inspired by M.A. Bulgakov’s Novel The Master and Margarita
Bulgakov Museum

2000
A series of installations was created to mark the 60th anniversary of the publication of The Master and Margarita as part of a festival held in the courtyard of 10 Bolshaya Sadovaya Street —the very building where Bulgakov once lived and where the events of the novel unfold.
Seven objects —seven characters: Hella, Korovyev, Behemoth, Woland, Berlioz, and others — were presented as semi-abstract three-dimensional compositions, each symbolically referencing their presence in the story. For example, Woland appeared as a black tunnel-square embedded in a bed, at the end of which the viewer suddenly encountered their own reflection.
Several of the installations included performers who became part of the object itself —as with Hella, Korovyev, and Berlioz’s severed head.
Following the courtyard presentation, the installations were exhibited for several months in the Bad Apartment (Nekhoroshaya kvartira).
