sasha kazantsev: statement
November 18, 2009. Today I am 22 years 5 months and 24 days. Summarizing my work now you can say that most of the time I’m engaged in taking pictures. Today I did not make anyone. My images appear out of my desire for them to do. It’s more like collecting bubble gum inserts: I formerly kept them in puffy leather wallet. Occasionally, I revised the contents of my treasure laying everything out in the proper order, and then lived with the knowledge that I have a small world where I can always come back.
Today I am 22, and a wallet with colored pieces of paper got lost years ago. Perhaps looking for an alternatives, once I began to do photographs. But environment still radically different from the interior of my fantasies. A compromise is found in the photos - easily succumbing to change, yet maintain the feeling of perfect reality copies. In my pictures are no people, often there is no wind, no beginning and no end. This is a local manifestation of autism, a form of turning away from the fact that I am ordinary, mortal, organic, carbonic.
Today, 18 November 2009. Not so long ago the outside world again struck me, and as if in a snow globe: everything has shot up for a few seconds and fell in a completely reverse order. So I have to lay my “inserts” out and set them in a proper way to feel comfortable in my private universe. Here is a celebration of subjectivity, it is a boredom diluted with an apprehension and covered with a thick layer of sugar.
Making out a cabinet of information fallen on me for each read or sorted sheets appears the next and the next, and there is no end to them. Each next “leaf” makes me uncertain about the existence of the end. Today, I feel relatively free of stuff. I have only a few hundred gigabytes, which put together my “treasure”, my “dowry”. And there is no desire to do materialize I fell free without it. Man today spend more time in the vehicle than in a museum. If I want to let the viewer into my chimerical reality, the key to it should not keep a form of a paper sheet. There is immeasurably lot of rubbish around so I feel that the first step for me today is not to produce more. Keys to my world you can carry around in your phone, send as a messages to friends and publish in the albums with pictures at our social networks account.
