The work is based on a report by P. A. Krasikov, a prosecutor of the Supreme Court of the USSR. The report stated that the provisions supplied to political prisoners included chocolate, cocoa, and butter.

In the former bakery of the prison castle, I recreated reliefs from different parts of the building using melted chocolate – traces of wallpaper, drips of cement from the recreation area, flakes of paint from a solitary confinement cell. On the one hand, I sought to reproduce the expressionistic beauty of the building in decay; on the other, to replicate the body of the penitentiary system using the most incongruous material – one that, most likely, was never actually present within its walls.

This work was made during the 'Udar' residency in Borovsk's prison castle
