PIOTR NALEWAJKA
Love in Moscow (Single)
DESCRIPTION
Photos have their own story. Over time, they gain new meanings. The situation is no different in the case of the photograph presented here, which was taken in Moscow on Red Square in 2017, three years after Russia occupied Crimea and five years before the outbreak of a full-scale war in Ukraine. I forgot about this photo and came across it by accident recently. I looked and thought about the anti-war rhetoric of this photo, open to several interpretations...
The original photograph was taken using a low-budget analog camera and processed using the solarization method.
AUTHOR
PIOTR NALEWAJKA, born in Poland, settled in Limerick (Ireland).
Photographer (professional member of Visual Artists Ireland since 2019) and Philosopher (PhD) exploring human condition mainly through abstract and documentary photography although remaining open in all photographic directions. His photographs were exhibited in several groups and solo exhibitions in Ireland, the U.K, France and Italy.
"Basically, the goal of my photography is to be anti-ideological, to show visual examples of epistemological pluralism of photography. Therefore, this type of art and documentary practice can be treated simply as an exercise in empathy".
