Am I a gardener of my own life? If so, my garden is free from any violence and coercion. It's a safe place in turbulent times and when I'm far away, my garden is still inside me. And for kids it's an essential space for safe and calm growing up.
Shooting portraits of kids in the garden space around them, I admire the way they live freely in the natural environment. I prefer blurred contours (using film and retro cameras or monocles) and dark tones, recreating the space of black and white dreams. This is how I turns to the memories of my own childhood.
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 photoprojects I explore topics related to the borders of territories and peoples.
As an artist, I formulate my task in directing camera lens to where it is painful and unpleasant to look and in showing there is still some beauty in it.
