Project at the developing stage. For the seminar "Economic difficulties"

I had an idea to show a sort of feelings in the underground.

It is a stress, a feeling of being lost, weariness, some unnatural hopeless of being so deep under ground.

I felt that in the winter all this feelings are getting much sharper, what was a source for doing this story.

The first picture forces you to descend deeply to the underground.

The last one means for me: people in a carriage as a perception of a closed circle.

None of pictures were specially prepared. I wanted just to show a "real" life. At least I tried.

A pilgrim who a arrived to the island left in his notes:
"Konevets does not exhibit any material goodness but its being remote from the civilisation, its desert beauty give a hearty relax, say about the Lord greatness, arouse the pray
spirit, tell about Eternity ..."

A small village with just a few local people. In Summer some relatives used to visit their Grandmothers.

New project.

In 1966 Lenfilm studio proposed its manifest. It was a documentary film directed by Pavel Koghan
"Look at a face": 10 minutes film showing haw the people in Hermitage look at the Leonardo painting "Madonna Litta". It was recorded by a hidden camera.
"Look at a face" became a credo of the Leningrad cinema school, it was an aesthetic shock, a revealing. It happened the ordinary humane face may be usually interesting provided a persona put into a special situation such as watching at famous paintings.

My aim is try to look how the people react at the Hermitage treasures since 45 years passed.

Why the project may be interesting for the media. In our rich cultural tradition country the art propaganda almost fade during last two decades. Indeed just one TV Chanel and a few specialised magazines are occupied with that business. In the same time among a part of young generation a real interest to the "true art" (not to its "surrogate" only) substantially grows last years. It is enough to look at the faces of those who attend the theatres and exhibitions to prove this.
An important role in supporting and developing of the interest may play the press.

Dear Joerg,

I will be very grateful to you for valuable help in selecting the proper pictures from the first portion I am sending you.

Dear Joerg,

I organised the picture related to the charity shop story in the following manner.
I my opinion combination of the picture in clusters allows to show the story in a better way.
Additionally I supplied all the pictures by a text helping to understand the picture content.
I am not sure I >>covered the topic completely and hope to come back to it in the future.

This is the story about the first city charity shop opened in Saint Petersburg in March last year. Charity shop means that some people bring there unnecessary things, other people buy there whatever they like as well. The money obtained go to the charity purpose including the people having no particular accommodation throw the "Kip" organisation.
Once a month a free distribution of various things among those who needs them as well.

- Charity shop is a very actual enterprise in Russia.
- In my country there is the problem of thing utilization.
- All you can buy in the Second-hand shops in Russia are the stuff from Europe.
- According to statistics in Russia among unnecessary things 5% are distributed between friends, 5% among poor people and the rest 90% go to trash or stored at home without any sense.
- In the "Spasibo" shop : you can buy cheap things (often even for 50 rubles each piece). So you can get rid of useless things and make a good deal simultaneously. It gives a real help to those for whom the charity shop was organized.
- An important point that this store does not call for people to donate money directly (in fact it is often a difficult psychological problem), and offers the possibility to get rid of unnecessary things or buy the right things for small money.

Hence the thrift store is an opportunity to create a convenient channel for donation and realize the potential of unnecessary things as a recourse.

At my page all pictures have been supplied by some text for your convenience.
