MUSEUMS OF SAINT-PETERSBURG
ABOUT
I started the project about museums in 2021. To implement it, I regularly photographed different museums of the city for 3 years as an ordinary visitor. It was very important for me to show what is accessible to everyone's eye and shift attention from the narrative to the birth of new forms and meanings from the ordinary.
The photographs from the series were taken in different museums of the city, but are subordinated to one idea - to show the dialogue between visitors and exhibits. My focus is on the moment when the boundaries between the real and the fictional, the objective and the animate are erased, on the relationship through space and time. In total, the project included photographs taken in 35 museums of the city.
I would like to express my gratitude to the brilliant teacher and photographer Sergei Yakovlevich Maksimishin and the photography school "Tsekh", I can't imagine that I could do this without you!
