Maksim watched my miniature DVD player while I photographed and looked at the other work in the gallery. Valentina Pavlovna, one of the gallery invigilators who was sitting opposite me, kept directing visitors to my corner in the gallery, advising them that I could speak Russian. She has been invigilating at Manezh for many years and is dynamic in her approach to invigilation. Last year Susan in particular made friends with her during Domestic Dialogues. Of course I was very grateful for her help, because I found many visitors were very shy to speak with me.
