“Letters from Childhood”
The mystery and strangeness of human memory: childhood is gone forever, but you close your eyes, and here it is — you can reach out with your hand and step from these adult years into its clear sunny day, endlessly lasting under the high dome of the sky. Or you wake up in the middle of the night, at its deepest hour, and with your eyes closed you listen to the silence of childhood. Or dreams, amazing dreams, when you are still small, in a huge, alien world… and, at the same time, you see yourself from the outside, small, defenseless, enthusiastically naive… a foggy trace of presence, the unnaturalness of the familiar, the understatement of what did not happen, a split image … These are not photographs of events, these are not portrait photographs, these are photographs of emotions, impressions and sensations, the materialization of childhood dreams. The works were made in mixed media: medium format film photography, scanning negatives and digital printing. No additional processing was used, all visual effects were obtained during filming.
