DREAMS.

I have learned to dream on the backseat of a white "LADA-2106" that belonged to my friends's father. Every morning, it took us, kids, from our suburb to the downtown, to receive a better education in a central school.

​

Every day my journey to the Dreamland began when a LADA's tape player was fed with a Soviet Rock from 80's. That music drew colorful images that changed rapidly to the beat inside my brain.

​

IMAGE.

I like the Analogue processes. I like old cameras and expired film.  A surprise that these experiences bring is unique - grain, saturation, shifted color, all these differ from film to film. Old cameras bring their own signature to this process: sometimes the film does not advance and we end up with a double exposure or a sequence of an overlayed images. During the drying and scanning phase dust and scratches appear. Scanning brings its own character to the final image. It is an additive process.

​

IDEA.

​

Idea is the most important concept of Civilization. Without ideas we are humanoids. For me idea equals to happiness. Ideas are nourishing. An artist without ideas is a corpse. Ideas manage everything. Through ideas we change the world.

​

LET GO.

​

The project has been born from a single photograph. The second photograph - a kitchen, big window, a view to the suburbs, young female, back lit, fixing her hair. Her silhouette seemed mysterious to me. I failed to explain to myself who was she and what she was doing at the kitchen. Probably a phantasm, her presence was so surreal that i hardly believed in her existence. I went looking for her. Out of the kitchen, to the street... Images tell the rest of the story.
