Born in south of Russia in borderland with Ukraine. There are three generations of artists in my family. I've been studying in three universities for past 7 years, but I haven't graduated yet.

Project tiltle: Memento

Author: Kirill Moskalev

Description:

Memory is the first thing in line of thinking about the theme of end

and over. What will we recollect before the end? Which parts of our

lives will flash before our eyes? The aim of this project is to

reflect memories. It represents subjective vision of some fundamental

concepts such as Time, Death and Love.

Photography as the medium for this project connected with memory

through the technique of capturing moments. All the pictures for the

project was made with Polaroid camera that reinforces the metaphor of

instantaneity and caducity of memory.

Living in the world of information chaos where thousands of images

captures our attention every moment, our mind switches from holistic

perception of people around to fragmentary perception of their

behavior, personal belongings and other details. For example, you can

hardly remember features of your close friend whom you've not seen for

a long time, but you can at once recall all the details and emotions

of a day when he was wearing a funny and bright sweater. That' why to

tell about a man or a woman in a picture it's enough to photograph

everyday details which represents he or her immaterial substance for

people around such as morning mess, crumpled bed or lost hairbrush...

Materials and techniques:

Polaroid SX 70, Polaroid 636, Expired Polaroid 600 and TZ artistic film
