Lithography depicts a paradoxical world in which the laws of reality are not applied. Three realities are united in one world, three gravity forces are directed perpendicular to one another.
An architectural structure has been created, realities are united by stairs. For people living in this world, but in different planes of reality, the same ladder will be directed either up or down.
