Tag Archives: Saint Petersburg

The project made an attempt to investigate the origin of the name of one of the residential areas of St. Petersburg, Russia.

Road theme and new spaces investigation are issues I’m focused on during visiting Saint Petersburg suburbs.

A visual expression of my searching for peace and balance in the big city.

This is a story about the growth of many Russian cities. Massive new blocks are being built here on the site of old villages and suburbs.

These buildings are 100 years old, they are not protected by the state. But this is also the history of the city. Not very famous and not advertised.

Tatyana Kolbatova traveled through the space and time in three different cities. Imaginary constructions reflecting reality are becoming it them selves.

In the process of this photographic study, I came to conclusion that interiors and everyday objects that belong to the tenants can be quite eloquent.

Art and people. People and Art. Art, intimacy, human creative skills, imagination and me. Take me away from the hustle and bustle, let me enjoy.

Tatyana in her work draws fantastic word of her home Petrogradsky district in St.Petersburg. She treats this space as tesseract or four dimensional hypercube.

I watched grey layer of asphalt gradually turning into soil or vice versa the park itself ceased being something manmade or natural.

The region I go to is alive and vibrant, it obeys its own principles, and every time I enter the path, i feel excited about new experience and new secrets awaiting for me.

Along with such prominent photographers as Hans Staub, Gotthard Schuh or Paul Senn, Theo Frey (1908–1997) is among the classic representatives of Swiss reportage photography.

St. Petersburg is a utopia constructed... It's strange living in this city, but only for guests. St. Petersburg residents are used to strange things and take no notice. Amongst them, only those for whom strange things are a must take notice: painters and photographers for example.
