The publication includes photo documentation of the exhibition of the same name, which took place at DiDi Gallery in the fall of 2022, a text by art historian Anzhelika Urusova, and several details that fully reveal the project. The catalog's visual solution, in the ocean blue, transports the viewer through a telescope to Ata Island, where a truly inspiring story unfolds.
The project's title refers to the story of six teenagers stranded on a desert island in 1966. Contrary to popular cultural narratives of social deviation, aggression, and degradation, the teenagers on Ata Island build a commune, establish equal labor, and seemingly offer hope that man is not a wolf to man.
