Aleksandra Koneva

In Diary of a Conformist Aleksandra Koneva illustrates moments from her childhood and adolescence in the USSR during the Brezhnev period.
Sixteen panels containing drawings and collages on original period wallpaper are complemented by sixteen exciting and moving short stories full of vibrant memories and a range of details from everyday life, transforming the book into a small encyclopaedia of the former Soviet Union. The diary, which was conceived as detailing the time of the end of the Soviet Union, is published in Russian and German: the two languages that equally define the life of the artist today.
