The title of this talk is composed of three phrases, attributed by three artists to their own works: David Kakabadze, Marcel Duchamp and Iliazd Zdanevitsch. They not only knew each other; in addition to notable collaborations, their work also reveals hidden but remarkable interferences. In a conversation, Olaf Nicolai and Thomas Girst attempt to delineate these constellations. Combined with a close reading of archival material, the talk explores whether the production methods the artists described can also be seen as methods for a further interpretation of their work.
