"""""Since the early 1990s, Ilya and Emilia Kabakov have collaborated to make complex installations that combine references to history, art, literature and philosophy. Much of their work has revolved around the creation of fictional characters and elaborate situations, and an interest in storytelling and fantasy underpins their art. Ilya Kabakov coined the term ‘total installation’ to describe these all-encompassing environments, in which viewers find themselves completely absorbed by the atmosphere of the piece.

me: boring, funniest thing (artist intended irony? ) is the poor sods (porb artists themselves) telling people to put on booties and cleaning up specks of dirt with a little spray bottle. Oh the lovely fascism of artists.
