This book was published on the occasion of the exhibition of Haralampi G. Oroschakoff in the State Russian Museum in St.Petersburg, October 7 - November 14, 1999. "Inhabitants of the Edge of the World: Itinerants and Orientalists" aims to reconcile wholeness with fragmentation and are about the lost or neglected narratives rooted in the heritage of East European (particularly Russian) art of the XIX century. The artist assembles these bits and pieces of dispersed cultural memory with a mixed sense of nostalgia and eagerness to unload this burdening cargo from his shoulders in order to liberate himself (and his generation) from it.
