Genesis, the first book of the Bible, tells the story of the

seven days of creation. Karasik in this publication uses

seven round sheets of paper, showing seven different

round iron manhole covers. Like the Lavatory book and

the doors in Speech over spilled milk, it is a celebration

of the vanishing old city of St. Petersburg. On the

back of these manhole covers, the text of the first

three chapters of the book of Genesis is printed in four

languages: Russian, English, Latin, and Hebrew. The

sheets are bound with one metal screw inside round

aluminium covers. The book is printed in a 15 copy

edition and is kept in an orange cardboard box with a

loose lid showing a manhole cover. On the inside of the

lid and the bottom of the box nine images of manhole

covers are printed
