The door to the 'Different Dimension' (17/05/2012)
In the Novosibirsk Museum of Art opened the door
to the "Different Dimension". Today, they launched the 4th
International Festival of Contemporary Photography. On several floors of the
museum housed more than 300 works made by authors from different countries.
Organizers say that except for a few projects in Moscow, "Different
Dimension" - the only large-scale exhibition of contemporary photography,
taking place in Russia on a regular basis.
Festival of contemporary photography
"Different Dimension" held in Novosibirsk, once every two years. Each
time the curators try to acquaint the public with interesting authors as to the
West and the East. At the same time at the festival is usually a few works of
Russian photographers, who are already exhibited in the country. At this time
one of the halls of the museum took a series of Petersburger Andrew Chezhina
"Transparent dreams." But the symbolic persona of the "Different
Dimension 2012" can be called an American photographer Roger Ballen.
Roger Ballen has lived 30 years in South Africa.
In Novosibirsk brought him a retrospective exhibition Shedoulend. This is - a
journey into the unknown to us a world where human relationships are not like
us in the familiar. Where there is a century, the so-called "black
racism", and very different ideas about the rights of the white man. Roger
for several years rented in a house with many rooms, watching the life and
death over its inhabitants. However, his work - metaphorical, they go far
beyond documentary photography. The same can be said about the extensive
exposure photographers from Hong Kong, which was first brought to Russia.
But these pictures you can see how the Hong Kong.
Until 1997 it was under British protectorate, after received the status of
autonomy within the People's Republic of China. For authors it is important to
understanding what happened, self-identification. Therefore, no postcard
exhibition of Hong Kong. But there is a reflection of the pressure on the town
common man, individuality, personality, and the removal of many other problems.
Just a festival attended by dozens of authors. Besides Russia, the United
States and China, they are Austria, Belgium, Italy, Taiwan and Japan. Some
photographers personally came to Novosibirsk for the opening of the exhibition.
