Subject and concept: this exhibition is about Belarus
and for Belarus: showing this country suffered from Chernobyl’s catastrophe and
telling about Belarussian people I try to help them. These artistic photos are
devoted to light and kind Belarussian land and to the people of this land and
their simple businesses and things. Real life presented by the genuine values:
by work, beauty and kind things. Basically it is a genre, landscape and
household portrait.
Practically,
each photo can be a subject of a separate artistic conversation. But thus their
generality has expressed architectonics and unity: this is emotional and
artistic story about a country, which is called Belarus.
Artistic
structure of an exhibition “SIMPLE THINGS: LOOKING AT BELARUS” is alive,
capable to be transformed and developed
being filled new photos.
In 2001, I’ve
started shooting the series of the photos devoted to Chernobyl’s zone (look
at the separated project “CHERNOBYL. THE EXCLUSION ZONE”), this series
could be important part of the general project “SIMPLE THINGS: LOOKING AT
BELARUS” or it can be separate photo exhibition too.
Volume: 40-60 color photos by the size
35to50cm. (Optimally: about 40 photos). The necessary size of frames for them
45to60 sm.
Strategy:
such an exhibition of the artistic photos representing Belarussian
people in certain, attractive enough, but also a little bit disturbing mood,
can have the important meaning and to be used rather multiform expanding the
frameworks actually exhibitions.
Such visual,
purposeful photo presentation of BELARUS and their people will be the very
important addition in any measure between our and another country and can bring
appreciable advantage in wider understanding of the country and of the people,
and thus certain political, social, aesthetic, and real (probably) dividends.
The similar
exhibition (at presence of hall, modern system of frameworks and fastenings) is
mounted for some hours.
Understanding
of the following here is important: the similar exhibition can be the
important component of any artistic, cultural, charitable or other project, and
at the same time on the basis of such exhibition, it is possible to build and
to realize practically any project.
