Yuri CHERNYSHOV

Yuri Chernyshev - artist of Perm. Filmmakers from the world of post-Soviet kinoandegraunda, photographer, linguist by education.

A striking phenomenon in the Chernyshev Moscow stage was the exhibition in 1991 'Cabinet of Curiosities', created with Andrew Bezukladnikovym (cm. biography Bezukladnikova see About Us). Chernyshev presented a draft of the several series under the general theme of 'The Golden Horn of irony'. In the text free Kiev curator A. Levitsky of Chernyshov were the exact words: Cabinet of Curiosities macroscopic, structural metaphysics, linguistic approach to collecting precedents.

Not grasp the head, it is not nonsense poststructuralist and postmodern vypendrezh around voids. Almost ten years ago found the key to the approach of the photographer, and since then, alas, no one has canceled the style of reasoning about linguistic photos

. Photography - language, not only communication, reflection, forgery, but, at the correct orientation in the cultural space and a certain 'cultural corruption' (as my grandfather used to say, the eternal memory of him), became the language of analysis
. So, Mr. Chernyshev - representative of the analytical picture of the city of Perm, and talk about the analytical picture, and more about Perm, which is indeed large, but distant center of cultural, industrial, etc.. etc.. life.

Let's start with the fact that life is in living and inanimate nature, and although its various forms, conscious and vnesoznatelny, life is life. It has its spatial and temporal coordinates, can occur in the blue sea and green luzhochke, in the refrigeration chamber at the factory and during the casting, in general, is clear: throughout life. It has its past, present and possibly future. Depending on your own past, visible today, the life you perceive based on their experience of yesterday. And if you ate yesterday, thick stick of sausage from the nearest slaughterhouse, today, coming in Mexican pampas, You may well feel the closeness of the contents of your stomach and those with thick fleshy leaves

. As spatial existence of life, . something about the peculiarities of the space can best tell the portraits, . resembling a family group (please do not apply the evaluation system on the basis of comparison with our own family albums, . not worry, . there are the same pictures), . a portfolio of local Miss, . some portraits of the same local pop stars,
. Photographer does not claim to novelty and professionalism of these portraits, they are made soundly. Importantly, . that they are a product of the very life, . reality, . which, . Being social, . I mean the human and thinking, . affects not only the diversity of creatures, . as an abundance of items of deja vu: ba, . I saw that, . wait, wait, . 1972? In Paris? ah, . no, . Kaluga, . Sure, . during a seminar on the pig!,

. Time of addition of the photographer - the end of 1980 - has left its imprint on his vision: creating a plastic concept of reality - the biological and social, he can not lose the pathos of social exposures, people view his photo exposes them
. What would? Perhaps a Russian collector, scholar and analyst, all the same, first, a humanist who believes in the improvement of their society.
