Ten tenants inhabit these apartments, each in his or her room, and each one has developed a very distinct personality. For example, one wants to travel in space and has built a vehicle for this purpose. Another tenant has never thrown away anything because he is afraid to lose the memories connected with each object.” (aus: ILYA KABAKOV Ten Charactres”, Press Release, Ronald Feldman Fine Arts Inc., New York, 15.04.1988).
