        Elvira Akzigitova

         

        Elvira Akzigitova (EE/DE) is an experimenter who spends long hours in the dark with a red light, trying to capture the trace of light and its tactile essentials. In addition to traditional analog photography tools and light sources, she also has a rather unusual tool called Violet Wand in her arsenal. By electrifying organic matter with this secret weapon, she succeeds in revealing what is otherwise hidden to the eye, but visible on light-sensitive materials. According to the artist, she works on the edge of photography and painting, just where these two practices meet and blend. Alternative, and at times, antique processes, abstract - inward looking images - Elvira decisively replaces the humanist documentary with a display of photographs presented as themes or events in themselves.

        Dmytro Starusev

        Dmytro Starusev, born in Makiivka, Ukraine, in 1984. In 2012, Dmytro Starusev graduated from the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography (majoring in film direction), and in 2018—Rodchenko School for Photography and Multimedia.
        In his artistic practice, Dmytro engages with analogue and hybrid photographic processes, their sense of unpredictability, tactility and handmade character that allow the viewer to perceive each work
        as a physical object. The fixation of the emotional dimension of reality, as expressed in abstract compositions and through the medium of photography, is of primary importance.
        Dmytro creates large-scale analogue photographic prints on different structures and surfaces actualizing the discussion about the very essence of the photographic medium and its autonomy.
        The layers of memories, images drawn from reality, images resulting from the developing process, longitude of exposure, natural chemical reactions, penetrate each other, creating a special indivisible fabric that preserves the trace of the emotional state at a certain moment. Trying to return to a negative, to a rough print, he focuses on the uniqueness of the moment and proposes an experience of a unique non-reproducible print.

        This residency has been made possible with support of The Ministry of Education and Culture and Artists-at-Risk.
