The project highlights the territorial conflict between the urban development machine and the needs of a large municipal shelter, hosting several thousand animals. This conflict is an example of the gentrification phenomenon in the realities of modern Russia.
In a series of photographs I pose several questions: do domesticated animals have the right to preserve their temporary habitat? Can an entity that has significant power put its interests forward and ignore the needs of a weaker one?
Photographer, visual artist, live and work in Moscow (Russia).
I assign an important role to the economy of narration in both visual and meaningful senses, leaving to the viewer a space for imaginative perception. Great importance I attach to the shooting space, often making the landscape a separate character.
In my works I often turn to the topic of boundaries — physical and mental: dividing communities, individuals, personal and public, past and present, possible and impossible. I'm also interested in what it means to live without belonging to any of the parties separated by the borders.
