Vladimir Kustov builds the basis of the composition of this work from the objects of his collection of medical instruments. These are decommissioned instruments that have been used in St. Petersburg clinics for the last 50 years. These instruments died for medicine, but were revived for the collection. The central place of the composition is occupied by a hologram made using the method of the Soviet physicist Yuri Denisyuk.
Ordered rows of numbers are arranged on top of the three-dimensional holographic environment. A special property of the magic square is its ability to fill the work with an infinite semantic field caused by the diverse movement and direction of numbers. All this allows the artist Kustov to consider the magic square as nothing more than a living being, whose spirit, according to the author's definition, is called into the world to harmonize chaos.
