Mos-08-127_copy_webThe  retrospective  exhibition, presented by ROSPHOTO, is dedicated to the famous Russian photographer Alexander Slusarev, died in April 2010.

«When it comes to the art of combination of visual and social aspects Slusarev is a virtuoso, it’s him who said once that what a viewer sees in these photographs depends on the person’s individuality, his education etc. People say about him that he can see everything. Even taking into account authors’ own words that a photo displayed on a computer screen is like a TV picture, for it has no particular size.

If we assume that perception of a work of art, and photography as a part of it, is mostly unintentional, then works of artist Slusarev are virtual. They are reborn each time there’s connection with new audience. As for conclusions, they shouldn’t be drawn (as Slusarev pointed out on another matter) but after close and everyday contact with photography.

There’re no colour photos at this exhibition. On the one hand, Slusarev wants to achieve clearness of perception by not making an eye switch from black-and-white to colour and back. On the other hand, he wants to achieve clearness of the exhibition genre, clearness of a personal project, where all the photographs are left unnamed with only time and place of the shot indicated. Besides he’s indirectly referring to his LiveJournal page, and that’s a whole different interactive type of perception of the photographs. Moreover, author assumes that black-and-white pictures never stop being popular, because they bring out “delusive magic”: a photographer doesn’t see the world in this colour spectrum and never knows what is going to come out.

However, each viewer may have different interpretations, it’s much more important to see something of your own in Slusarev’s images».
