Snowstorm is the second book with poetry by Timur

Kibirov that Karasik printed. As with the previous book

there are no illustrations. Again the shape of the book

is emphasized. The first book was accordion shaped,

this book is “bottled under supervision of the artist” in a

35 copy edition contained in: 1) plastic vodka bottles;

2) plastic whisky bottle. There is one artist proof in a

glass bottle. The computer printed text on coloured

paper is harmonica folded inside 50 cl. plastic bottles

that have been cut in half. The book can be opened by

unscrewing the bottle cap. The bottles are presented in

a linen satchel with a watercolour title.
