Oleg Kulik: The Russian

Kulik milking a bulldog huge enough to pass for a cow. He is dodging from the shots of two militiamen and a man resembling Nabokov. A red banner in his hands and excited dogs at his feet he beckons us to the frozen horizon. He is wailing at the sky overcast with the US flag, standing in the "EC" ring of twelve dogs. But color suddenly comes through the gray neutrality of black & white photographs that are to legalize, to document bizarre fantastic scenes. Three colors, to be more exact. A tricolor. And sleek, abundant gilt.
