Since the first photograph by Joseph Nicéfer Niépce in 1826, photography has fought for its right to be among the works of art. On the one hand, photography was reproached for being too realistic and documentary, which put it on a par with everything crafty and utilitarian, and on the other hand, imitation of painting was regarded as secondary to a photographic photograph in relation to a real work of art. This trend continues to this day.
With my series of works under the general title “Deconstruction” I want to show that photography has its own independent path in contemporary art. Photography can evolve and take on unexpected visual forms.
To create the works of this project, I followed the worldview of Wassily Kandinsky, who believed that refusing to use realistic images is the only true way to influence the viewer’s visual perception through color and form. I destroyed “deconstructed” the original frame and created a new image in such a way as to shift the viewer’s attention from the external attractiveness of the photo to its internal content. The goal of creating a project is to convey emotions and experiences through a combination of lines, geometric shapes, textures and color spots.
