「The collision of nature and artifact(自然と人工物の衝突)」
ペルミの夏は本当に短いので、空気の温かさ、水の新鮮さ、そして自然がもたらす美しいすべての色を捕まえたくなります。
しかし、ここは工業都市なので、それとは対照的な美しさを探さなければなりません。
Irving Stoneの著書「Lust for life」から、Vincent van Goghについて引用した「ある日、彼は赤いフェンスのあるライラック耕地の果樹園で、輝く青と白の空を背景に2本の薔薇色の桃の木で働いていた」という1文が好きです。
なので、この作品は光の勝利の話であるとも言えます。
Here in Perm the summer is really short, so you try to catch the warmth in the air, the freshness of the water and all those beautiful colors that the nature bring us.
However, Perm is an industrial city, so you really have to look for a beauty in contrast.
This shooting is not about just chilling somewhere in a beautiful place, it is about the collision of nature and technogenic background.
I was inspired by fish, insects, traces that sun leaves on human skin, river plants, and mountains. And I made it romantic like it's a daydream.
I love the quote from Irving Stone’s book ‘Lust for life’ about Vincent van Gogh, ‘One day he worked in an orchard of lilac plowland with a red fence and two rose-colored peach trees against a sky of glorious blue and white’.
So this story is also about a triumph of light.
A photographer from Perm, Russia.
She has graduated IED Madrid in 2014.
After years of traveling from one city to another and focus on fashion, she has started to capture people from Perm and vocalize for people who are sensitive and believe in love.
Nowadays her main object is woman, and she belongs to that breed of photographers who are constructing new female identity.
She is currently working on a zine dedicated to childhood and friendship.
