this is the special herbarium, made from botanic samples of the Moscow city space, collected in time of the Moscow walks of the artist (city's trees, grasses, so on - a kind of a Moscow botany, but connected with the particular everyday life routes of the artist). every sample has a inscription with the exact Moscow address where its was collected by the artist (mostly around Tverskaya street of Moscow).
life as a grass, art as a path.

this is one of the works (2015, never published before) of one of my favorite Russian contemporary artists - Masha Konstantinova.
about Konstantinova you may read, for example, in the Andrew Solomon's book (Solomon, Andrew (1991). The Irony Tower: Soviet Artists in a Time of Glasnost. Alfred A. Knopf, New York. ISBN 0-394-58513-5).
