The book The Silver Age. Russian types. An album

for contemplation is an allusion to Boris Kustodiev’s

Russian types published in 1923. It is a tribute to and

a postmodern analysis on its centenary of the heyday

of Russian art and literature. Karasik mixes time and

space in the short, ironic text preceding the album.

After this introduction there are 11 colour lithographs

composed of reworked old photographs and erotic

postcards. The sheets of grey Rives are bound

between cardboard covers with monochrome printed

paper and a linen spine. Each of the 17 copy edition

has a Plexiglas case to present the book.
