An exhibition “Keep My Words Forever” dedicated to the artistic legacy of the poet Osip Mandelstam. The display is a complex installation based on the eponymous documentary by a director Roma Liberov.
The exhibition space closely follows Osip Mandelstam's human and artistic journey: visitors enter an arcade where each arch illustrates a lifechanging event from the poet’s life. The architectonics of this pathway filled with historical documents – collages, manuscripts, original printings and artifacts – leads the poet to his reader.

exhibition architecture

In each new arch, the texture on the floor changes according to the theme of the exhibition chapter, thus the viewer 'walks through' the poet's entire journey.
