Andrei A. Krasilin : Sanatorium

A researcher finds himself at a conference in the half-empty Anapa sanatorium in the non-resort season. He sets off in pursuit of an understanding of the place that man and matter occupy. Is there a place to which you belong? He intersperses photographs of desert beaches with images of nano-matter in electron microscopes. The first one is a game for him and the practice of detachment, the second one is the work on his thesis. Paradoxically, in none of this does he find answers to his questions, and as a result he finds himself alone with his increasingly twisted reflection in the mirror of the hotel bathroom ...The photo book consists of white and black parts that overlap each other, making the viewer an accomplice of the search and co-author of the resulting compositions.
