BORDERLAND (DUMMY BOOK)

The forest, which in Slavic mythology is a space where our world and the otherworld cross, also is a space in which you can enter and change –space of metamorphosis, transformation, but it increasingly retreating under the onslaught of growing cities.

I shoot myself on the border of the town and the forest, because they are two important worlds for me.

The one of them is a familiar, comfortable world, but at the same time, it has fences, restrictions, schedules.

And the other -a world without time, the worldof freedom, but frightening.

In the photobook “Borderland” I analyze the concept of the border through process of photoshooting myself in different spaces and states and then make drawings on them.

I use a permanent marker and follow after my impulse. This process is a kind of performances from our childhood, when we let us to create new meanings and worlds within daily routine.
