Restricted Areas
The project "Restricted Areas" is about utopian strive of humans for technological progress.
Humans are always trying to own ever more than they have - this is the source of technical progress, which was the means to create various commodities, standards, as well as the tools of violence in order to keep the power over others.
Lost Horizon
Project “Lost Horizon” visualises the utopia of constructing the ideal world. Or rather, half-forgotten traces and ruins of this utopia: the Soviet architecture and technical buildings, which symbolically affirmed the technical progress and advance of the communist future.
Motherland
Russia today is a country with vast abandoned areas which are constantly increasing in size. The ruins have not only become part of the Russian landscape, but have also taken a firm hold in the consciousness of post-Soviet man in the form of nostalgia for the social structures that collapsed and utopias of the past.
"Motherland" is a commemorative project – a parting with dead and no longer functional structures.
Oasis
The project was commissioned by Qatar Museums as part of Qatar-Russia 2018 year of culture photographic exchange.
Monuments
The project «Monuments» researches the boundaries of historical memory, the area between fact and fiction. As in the case of political regimes in general, every single one of us is individually inclined to exploit images of the past for the sake of our current needs or future goals.
