The second book of conversations between artist Vadim Zakharov and philologist and co-author of many projects, Maria Porudominskaya, explores Vadim's numerous collaborations with renowned Moscow conceptual artists Igor Lutz, Viktor Skersis, Nadezhda Stolpovskaya, Yuri Albert, Sergey Anufriev, Pavel Pepperstein, Andrey Monastyrsky, Yuri Leiderman, Ivan Chuikov, and Sabina Hänsgen from 1978 to 2009. The book also explores his collaborations with composer Ivan Sokolov (1997–1998, 2006–2007) and his experience working with German artist Niklas Nitschke (2010–2016).

The essence and purpose of this publication is to showcase the boundless flow of artistic experiments that often occurred alongside, and sometimes in defiance of, Zakharov's core creative work, described in his first book, "An Artist Must Think!" Without these experiments, whether successful or not, it's difficult to imagine a full-fledged work. Co-authorship is a way out of the author's impasse, a departure from the established path. In this book, we attempt to discuss the survival of the concept of "freedom" in collaborative creative spaces. According to Vadim Zakharov, co-authorship is the most democratic creative method imaginable. It offers a much broader creative palette than isolated practices. BUT! Co-authorship, like a powerful drug, can also lead to hospitalization.
