Regardless of the category, Igor uses various artistic techniques and narrative styles to clearly express his attitudes and viewpoints.本次展览不以时间为叙事主线，而是以艺术家在绘画与文学上的变化轨迹来构建叙述框架，分为“从那不勒斯到纽约的黑色漫画”、“传记小说”、“历史小说”与“记忆路线”等四个板块，无论是哪种类别的作品，伊戈尔都用不同艺术手法和叙述风格清晰地表达自己的态度与观点。Movie poster of "5 is the Perfect Number" ｜《5是最完美的数字》电影海报
