Herbarium
I work with portraits of places, spaces and states. Photography and poetry for me is like a process of talking to the spirit of a place and doing something for it. I work with objects found on the ground, part of this land, respecting their nature, creating living collages-amulets to the space, weaving both self-portraits and portraits of people into this interaction with the place.
I work more intuitively, and then, having created, I interpret what I have created, unravelling what it means — this is close to the work of pythias and diviners in ancient temples: one conveyed the will of the gods in a metaphorical sense, the other interpreted it to the questioner. Art for me is about that.
Я впечатываю себя, это не про “снять покрасивей”, это про меня и природу и город и других людей и смешение — как смешиваются где-то на глубине атомы.
