PORTRAIT
Portrait
DOUBLE FEATURE
A collection of full-length portraits showing workers and artisans in their authentic life-environments. They sit or stand, motionless in the middle of the landscape, silently staring at the static camera. The changing seasons define life in this rural part of Russia. PORTRAIT blurs the boundaries between painting, photography and film. The fixed likenesses resist the flow of filmic images, raising questions about the similarities and differences between the various art-forms.
