“The most mischievous single image here is Valerie Khristoforov’s
portrait of an anonymous young girl on a street with her dress raised to
reveal a condensed scrawl of notes that had been written on her thighs
before she took the entrance exam to a journalism course in Moscow State
University. Khristoforov happened upon the girl in a park as she was
writing on her legs ‘seated under trees near the statue of Mikhail
Lomonosov, the greatest Russian scientist, who gave the name to the
University’. She agreed to have her legs photographed under two
conditions: that he take the picture after the examination and that she
remain anonymous. He agreed and waited for an hour and a half for her to
return. She passed the exam and was never found out.” (quoted from source)
