"In series of works, Sacharow-Ross employs the strategy of self-removal. This occurs in a project in which he works with the pages of the 1941 Königsberg telephone book. Here the subject is not the crossover of registers – anonymity as a means of self-realization, widespread in contemporary art.Neither is it about appealing to matrices of primordial consciousness. No, the total rejection, the “self-removal” of the artist is governed by something completely different. He “goes away”, not having the power to reconcile himself with the realities created by the contemporary consciousness. Sacharow-Ross simply magnifies, on a display, pages of a telephone book. Although the telephone numbers of Königsberg Jews are still present, unlike other subscribers, they do not indicate their occupations. This is a prohibition on profession – and nothing more."
