The installation, in a space constructed out of transport bags, unveils the reality behind the lasting custom of smuggling Chinese goods along the Trans-Siberian railway. The portrait of two women, who out of economic necessity trade domestic goods, gives the audience an insight into the survival strategies within the unsettled Post-Soviet environment.

De installatie, opgezet in een ruimte die uit transportzakken bestaat, onthult de realiteit achter het aanhoudende gebruik om Chinese goederen langs de Trans-Siberische spoorlijn te smokkelen. Een portret van twee vrouwen, die uit economische noodzaak huishoudelijke goederen verhandelen, geeft een kijk op de overlevingsstrategie\u0026euml;n die binnen de onzekere postsovjet-omgeving plaatsvinden.
