The impression of photographer from Novosibirsk- Evgenii Ivanov about St.-Petersburg photography

A party by   Comme des Garcons  boutique couldn’t be missed for sure! Besides I’m a true fan of this brand from the moment it has appeared in St.-Petersburg. Unfortunately recently I’m frequent guest there because of the “Staronevsky” traffic on weekdays and my country house on weekends!

In the “RACHMANINOV GARDEN” photogallery on the 13th of October took place the opening session of personal exhibition of the Russian Photo Artist Union member Valery Degtyarev, entitled “The Intentional city.” The exhibition of 25 black and white monochrome images is dedicated to the 200th anniversary of FYODOR DOSTOYEVSKY.

Valery Degtyarev has presented ST.-PETERSBURG through the eyes of FYODOR MIKHAILOVICH, an association with his works arise from the first look at the photos. Images of close courtyards, dark stairs and blank walls create a depressed mood, feelings of loneliness and anxiety, the city is presented as a city-monster, which inhibits personality. Each image has its own history and mysterious storyline.

Valery Degtyarev demonstrates balanced and laconic style, the variety of topics and methods of producing images. He was able to transfer the evolution of nature, dynamics through the snapshot, showed the essence of things. It is interesting to see then how the author feels light, perspective and space of air.

The exhibition will run from October 14 to November 14 in the photogallery “Rachmaninov Garden” at Kazan Street., 5, in the yard (2nd arch). Opening hours – from 12 to 20 hours.
