Katerina Zueva about the project of Oleg Borodina "Irony as a landscape"
The new series of works by Oleg Borodin combines areas in which the author has been working for the past few years - a direct, documentary photo and collage. Two polar in the degree of manipulation of technology. Laconic, cold types of sleeping areas, it would seem, are devoid of riddles or intrigues. At a closer look, a melancholy, at the same time sincere and self -irony fantasy, the author’s dream of ideal form from the window is opened. Pour meadows or birch grove timidly peep through concrete blocks of high -rise buildings, garages and transformer booths.
