About

The exhibition examines photography as a space where opposites do not exclude but complement each other. Documentarity and abstraction, stasis and movement, plane and volume come together in a conversation about how the perception of an image changes. The project is based on the philosophical principle of complementarity formulated by Niels Bohr and transfers it to the field of photography. Instead of the familiar logic of choice between opposites, the exhibition offers to see how different ways of description can coexist simultaneously. As a result, photography is perceived here not as a simple fixation of reality, but as a dynamic perceptual model in which the image constantly transcends its own obviousness. Six participants work with this state in different ways. Some address technogenic infrastructure and the invisible layers of the modern environment, others explore water as a resource of digital civilization, while others reflect on the coexistence of irony and seriousness, personal loss, traces of vanished urban forms, or the deconstruction of photography itself into color layers. In all these approaches, the medium ceases to be a neutral tool and becomes a field of artistic experimentation. The exhibition presents photography as an event in which the viewer's gaze becomes part of it. Observation is no longer reduced to passive perception: it transforms into action, and the image becomes a space where reality, memory, technology, and abstraction continuously engage in dialogue with each other. The exhibition is held at the "PENNLAB" gallery on the territory of the Winzavod.
