КРАЙ

From the point of view of air,
the edge of the earth is everywhere.
That which, mowing down the clouds,
coincides — no matter what sweeps away
the traces — with the sensation of a heel.
And the eye, which looks around,
mows down what your sickle is in the field;
the sum of small terms, when changing places,
is more unrecognizable than zero…
I. Brodsky
Vegetation, trees, traces of human presence, and everything else that forms the landscape of the city and its outskirts all exist within a different temporal dimension. Its movement can only be felt, or even noticed, through prolonged observation. For three years, the artist photographed the surroundings of the small town where he lives, until the landscape acquired a sense of movement and its changes began to emerge. Until time itself, and its effect, became visible.
The book brings together black-and-white photographs from different seasons and locations, arranged into several interconnected series. Trees within a constantly changing landscape, the appearance and disappearance of thickets, the intertwining of branches and steel reinforcement bars. Like frames torn from a slow film, in which time flows according to entirely different rules, the book immerses the viewer in another perception of time and of what is happening.
Exhibition Format
The work is intended for exhibition, either with the book or as a standalone presentation.
The book brings together several organically interwoven series of photographs, allowing the exhibition to be installed on one or several walls, with prints of different sizes and in different formats.
