Ekaterina Temerova
Shadow of Thread
In the frameworks of project "Photo Season"

March 2-17, 2007

OkNo gallery keeps on its "Photo season" with exhibition-debut of Ekaterina Temerova (aka Kaya).

Kaya is one ofš generation of young artists that find the meaning of life in creative being without any pathos. Such existence could be expressed in forms of literary text, photo, music installation, fire show, own image out of tendencies of current fashion, but depending on today's mood.

In the project with the poetical name "Shadow of Thread" Kaya presents original stage photographs made in style of trash-romanticism (this definition arisen during discussion of the project idea and reproduced exactly the essence of the showed photos). Using technique of "removal",š Kaya creates photo stories where heroes live in the invented world that doesn't obey the rational laws of social medium and doesn't assume recognition. This world is of "pure art" where value of things is determined by aesthetic criterions and poetry can come from "rubbish". So a run in nylon tights becomes expressive abstract photographica.

The exposition will demonstrate both digital and analog photography, video art with use of photos.

Alisa Moskvina, Anton Slastnikov, Yulia Afanas'eva will take part in the project. dj Alexader Tolkachev and vj Vova Vishnyakov will perform music and video installations.
