  • Catalogue Essay

    'Under the Snow’s concept is based on the idea of the depiction of a soft, bright, white medium, with fragments of real or not real, but in any case recognizable, reality breaking through it. The effect resembles what we see looking out of an airplane window when the earth is visible through the breaking cloud cover. But the very same earth directly underfoot can appear the exact same way, when it is visible between heaps of snow during a thaw'. - Ilya & Emilia Kabakov
