A Pioneer of the Russian Avantgarde movement

Photographs by Russian photographer BORIS IGNATOVICH (born in 1899 in Ukraine -died in 1976). Boris was a Soviet photographer and member of the Russian avant-garde movement.A pioneer of Soviet photography. He started out as a journalist and newspaper editor, but then took up documentary photography in 1923. Ignatovich tried to alter the traditional format of documentary photography by using very low and very high unconventional angles, developing new perspectives, and including birds-eye constructions, which rendered the landscape as an abstract composition.

Deranged Dreams

Sergei Sviatchenko (b. 1952) is an Ukrainian artist/architect who has lived in Denmark since 1990. He is inspired by architecture and surrealism. His work has been exhibited numerous places around the world and published in Rojo magazine & Dazed and Confused among others. I really like his photomontages and his simple & stylish style. In 2002 he founded Senko Studio, a place where Sviatchenko as curator presents various pieces of art produced by emerging and promising artists and photographers.
