Thirty-three costumes were created in collaboration with the Stieglitz State Academy of Art in St. Petersburg. The extensive reconstruction of the historical costumes from Kazimir Malevich’s first futuristic opera, Victory over the Sun (1913), was undertaken for the permanent exhibition at The Russian Museum and lasted for a period of one year in 2013.
The primary concept focused on historical accuracy, staying true to Malevich’s vision. As a result, the costumes were designedas wearable sculptures, limiting the performers’ movementsto basic actions such as shaking hands and walking. This decision reflects Malevich’s emphasis on technological progress over nature, which restricted “the humanity of future inhabitants”. The development of all the costumes was based exclusively on Malevich’s surviving drawings.

The costumes were transformed into a wearable collection and showcased in an experimental performance. The runway show took place in 2015 at the Russian House of Science and Culture in Berlin. It featured an unconventional staged performance, involving electro performer Heimer, opera singer Yuka Yanagihara, Daniel Dorsch and Paul Brody on saxophone, and an electro-acoustic metallophone performance.
