“A paysage should be a portrait. If it is not quite similar to nature, then what is in it?" These words of the young artist from the “Walk to the Academy of Arts” by the Russian poet Konstantin Batiushkov served as an impetus to the discourse on the borders of graphic genres and on the borders of the abstract and figurative, the figure and the background. In an environment in which it is difficult to separate nature from human intervention, a paysage can be those image which appeals to the nature of visual perception as such. In these photo shots I tried to reach the paysage vision, and assemble complex physiognomy of everyday urban environment with natural, man-made and human components.

Anyuysky National Park is one of Russia's largest national parks, covering 430,000 hectares. The park is located on the right bank of the Amur River and in the lower reaches of the Anyuy River. It is one of the largest massifs of intact pine-broadleaved forest, which supports Himalayan and brown bears, Manchurian deer (East Asian deer), wild boar and the endangered Siberian (Amur) tiger. The Siberian tiger is the main star of the national park. A total of about 30 adult tigers now live here, and there are no more than 750 Amur tigers left in Russia in total. Anyuysky National Park is the country's main maternity home for the Siberian tiger: park staff and volunteers create comfortable conditions for the tiger, feed wild boars, which are the main food for tigers, monitor their movements, and protect them from poachers. The main task of the animal protectors is to expand the tigers' habitat to the north and bring their population to a plateau, safe for the species.

That time, only the open space was the edge, that we dreamed to reach and to conquer. And there were heroes in the spacesuit, who could see the Earth and the stars through the visor of the helmet. Now we’re the ones being reflected in the helmets, and the border was not somewhere outside the Earth, but right here - on the other side of the visor. But, maybe, this closeness is wrong, and there are same boundless and dark places behind a visor? And how can we be sure, which side of the visor are we? How much time we need to deal with this space oddity? Moscow (2010-2018)
