The Weight (Series)
DESCRIPTION
The Weight is series exploring memory.
Places, spaces, where we experience strong feelings turn into neural networks of our brain.
We recover memories many times. Color, lighting, shape, details change and it's impossible to find exact original image.
But at the same time, we connect to our own history every day, our life is based on it, on who we were yesterday.
It is part of us, our bodies.
AUTHOR
Self taught photographer from Saint-Petersburg. Artist and dancer in the past. I like to explore world around me through different visual forms. I started photography as a hobby when I was seven. For a long time I was fond of documentary photography and I still do. My other field is creating staged photography. Mostly my works are hand made from the scratch. I create set designs and costumes as well.
My works are about subconscious, shadows, symbols. I explore my own feelings about very personal things. Sometimes it's just a glimpse of impression that I get from my subject. I try to visualize it. As a dancer in the past I love expression of body movement and my models are often dancers.
