It is difficult to portray the already existing world as something unusual, to come up with something new, unique, so that everyone gasped. It is much easier to create your own world - a new, unexplored one, and to depict it in your work. This is exactly what the creative duet "Toba Toba" did, thanks to whose fantasy the invented planet Umbi and its amazing inhabitants were born.
Acquaintance with the works of "Toba Toba" is an unforgettable journey into a fantastic universe, where there is always a place for illusions and miracles. The authors easily create parallel worlds consisting of fluorescent landscapes and inhabited by funny characters with strange powers. Toba Toba embody their wonderful ideas in various installations, sculptures and short videos.
So, planet Umbi. It is located at the very edge of the Toba Galaxy. Just like on earth, there are four seasons here: Amambai (fog season), Kororo (hot season), Mokambu (renewal period) and Tanimbu (transformation period accompanied by dark clouds). And, of course, the inhabitants of this amazing region: Jumbi and Nutu. Jumbis have the gift of understanding the illusions of those around them. Chickpeas are considered oracles due to the spheres on their heads. Every year, with the star Napur, which gives the planet light, there is an eclipse for three months, and during this time of complete darkness, some of the inhabitants of the Umbi begin to emit light on their own. A more detailed description of the fantasy universe can be read at website "Toba Toba".
Toba Toba is a creative group created in 2006 by Argentines Amelia Eguia and Julian Mantel. The duo currently lives and works in Milan (Italy).

One of the specific phenomena of the Civil War of 1918-1922 was the chieftaincy. Various military leaders appeared on almost all fronts, but they raged especially strongly in the East of Russia. A new type of field commanders appeared - the so-called Cossack chieftains.
