LOGBOOK

he summer issue of DONTPOSTME starts

with the post-apocalyptic photographs made

Tby a young Russian art photographer Yanina

Boldyreva. Born in Novosibirsk in 1986, this highly tal-

ented artist has already participated in various projects

and even had her personal exhibitions held all over the

country.

The project called “Logbook” came to our notice not

only for its content, but also due to the way it’s exe-

cuted: distorted images show no people; a combination

of surrealism, mysticism and charm creates an empty

scene for the spectator’s imagination.

YB:“This project shows space surrounding me as the

post-apocalyptic world. It hasn’t people, architecture,

and only separate ruins which jut out of a ground indi-

cate the past developments.

I used pieces of plastic as the filter to hide part of the

image and to allocate the details necessary to me in a

landscape.

I look at the landscape as the astronaut who has visited

the planet in years after he abandoned it.

Therefore, these works have the personal experiences

of the astronaut concerning the myth about the lost

past and impossibility to begin new life mix up with

documentary fixing for him field notes.

Combination of commonness and mystic create an

empty scene for the spectator imagination”.
