The centerpiece of the exhibited series is the author herself, posing as different characters from The North Wind: the Eternal Alice, her daughters Lotta and Margarita, Cousin Boris, Benedict and his fiancé Fanny. The black-and-white photos by Rubchinskiy show the characters wondering in smoke-clad spaces, frozen still on the cusp of their disintegration — a theater foyer, an abandoned mansion, a barely discernable landscape. The artistic styling taps the retro aesthetic and refers to such classics of portrait photography as Cecil Beaton and Lee Miller.

The exhibition features over 60 photographs, including unique polaroids. The exposition is augmented with stage props, video and audio installations.
