Tarot cards not only have "esoteric" meanings but are also used in psychology to interpret images of the unconscious. This deck consists of 22 Major Arcana cards, the images of which represent ironic interpretations of classical scenes found on the streets of St. Petersburg. By offering images of the temporary and impermanent in the city as archetypes, I invite you to comprehend the motionless, harmonious, and ideal eternal in the unstable, uncertain, and ambiguous present. The deck also suggests not limiting yourself to a daily layout of one card or a three-card spread for the near future. The sum of the Arcana cards on the card will indicate the district of St. Petersburg to which you should travel with your question in search of additional metaphorical symbols. Thus, the eternal and the momentary, the city map, and the tarot cards work in synergy to reveal the unconscious and reflect on the questions posed.
Implemented in the "Photo-Flannerie" workshop of the "St. Petersburg through the Lens of the Young" project
Posters
In my project I explore my approach to photography and the relationship between the objective and the subjective in it. Work on the project began with an interest in aesthetics of collages and the opportunities they provide for the author to construct new realities. I acted in accordance with my approach to photography: I looked for ready-made collages, rather than constructing them myself. In my approach, I trust the creation of the image to the limitless world instead of my private, limited consciousness. The work of my consciousness and my feelings is only to be open to the world and be ready to see an image that was not created by me. As a result, the photographs of the posters in my project capture a completely objective reality without my intervention. But this reality is more like collages that are subjectively constructed in nature.
