As in the series "dust to dust," Michailov deals with the situational conditions of his respective studios.This
time, however, he does not take a closer look at the studio floor, but at its ceiling. The specific peculiarities of
a microcosm that have developed over the years are to be depicted. In particular, the artist is now on the
lookout for architectural weak points such as wall cracks, water stains or chipped wall edges.The artistic
depiction of such weak points is intended to make the viewer think and, if necessary, lead to self-reflection in
search of their own "weak points."

"At the moment, weak points in houses and apartments are for me a metaphor for the weak points in the human mind and actions - also in relation to global, man-made phenomena such as global warming. The connection between desolate housing and environmental damage came to me once when I was watching a ceiling dripping and the damage it caused - with the difference that a defective roof can be repaired far more easily than a no longer intact earth atmosphere".
