Portrait nominee

Kuzma
Vostrikov comes to digital photography as a vaccine, as nostalgia for
the enlarger and fixer. Kuzma Vostrikov —  is  a  touch-up in the
trillions  of  frames  of  identical megapixel cameras, bored of vapid
postures.  When grandpa Mao makes friends with a lovely Japanese woman sitting in a golden chair somewhere in the Kuril Islands, encouraged by Andy Warhol’s accompaniment, this means that all the characters are a little tired of the ideological  rhetoric of the numerous revolutions: bloody, cultural, digital and others. Our heroes from the photographs  came together to drink champagne and recall the good past with an old word. Maybe even embrace each other and cry together.
