This series of works is the dream of summer, whose warmth is the perpetual motion machine of all living things. It exists in a free state. In this world, the main unrestrained fun and lack of stench, every minute, year-round. This is a world where no one seeks to claim dominance. Everybody is equal in its own way. Here is no boundaries between man and animal. Here a crocodile lives without a cage. This is a world in which there is no zoo. There is an unspoken agreement between humans and animals. Manikhin draws what is visible in the media and what is lacking for a modern person living in the Central Russian strip.
