The project was implemented within the framework of the event "Archive. Part 2" organized
by the Committee of Involved Observation and based on the study of the A.S. Golubkina Museum closed
for reconstruction.
Several years of reconstruction of the museum preserved not only the work processes and their visible results, but also the construction of a full life of the builders working on the site. Their personal experience of life in the building is confined to a strict time frame, beyond which all evidence disappears and remains unrecorded.
My research consisted of communicating with the builders and searching for artifacts that testify to the transformation of the building's interior space, namely the emergence of non-building and non-museum contexts. The result of the research is an archive of authentic but unrecorded history. The project included a workshop on communication with neighbors and the effect of invisibility.
