An essay by Olga Bubich on a controversial series of photographs/document Madhouse (Durdom) taken by Galina Moskaleva and Vladimir Shakhlevich in a historical turning point: the period of liquidation of the USSR and proclamation of independent Belarus. By means of creating a collage, the artists compare the image and energy of the rally in Minsk on November 7, 1991 with children-patients in the mental house in Novinki.

ZBOR is a key special project of the Belarusian contemporary art research platform KALEKTAR. The project was designed as a constantly updated magazine about artistic propositions, created during the last decades.

All the essays and publications are specially written by Belarusian critics in the framework of the project and describe specific works by artists, groups and institutions. ZBOR is one of the key resources of the platform and an instrument that assists in constructing an archive.
