The Crime & Crime exhibition was born ouf of the encounter between Agathe Simon and Russian dropout Igor K. in 2013 in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Both of them are passionnate about Dostoevsky’s Crime & Punishment. Agathe Simon followed Igor K. (known as ‘The New Raskolnikov’ in the Hay Square district) during several weeks, in order to document his activities thanks to various media and technics: photographs, notes, sound installation and videos.

With the novel’s 150^th anniversary approaching, their collaboration is a paradoxical tribute to Dostoevsky. This installation is part of the Crime & Crime multimedia cycle, created as a tribute to the novel Crime & Punishment.
