LuxUrbex - Urban Exploration and Urbex Photography in Luxembourg

I am happy to announce that I have been asked by the Head of the Department of Contemporary Art at the “Manege” Central Exhibition Hall to exhibit 28 of my pictures at the invitation-only exhibition "Saint-Petersburg Photo Vernissage 2010". I will personally be in Saint-Petersburg for the Vernissage and the opening will be at 2 o'clock PM after a small press conference. Most probably I'll give a Master Class about my photography and technique during the week I'll be there.

The theme of the exhibition will be "TREND" in it's broader sense.

«Trends - a mirror of history, and it  always follows the political events. Fashion - it is not clothing, it's a way of life. Trends - is what you eat and drink, what you wear, where you go to relax, what furniture is in your house, what kind of dog you own, what phrases you use , trends for mobile phones, trends in  computer models, the trend for Japanese restaurants, the trend for green tea, which hit Russia in the past five years, etc., etc.» --- Alexander Vasilyev

At the heart of trends lies an individual style, and its world - a self-contained space, absorbing a wide range of phenomena. Through them people expresses their attitude to external forms of culture: lifestyle, serving and table manners, cars, clothing, thus trying to show their place in society, their sexuality, location, class, status level and belonging to a particular group.
Photocamera gives us an opportunity to capture different aspects of fashion, its endless cycles and change of artistic images, which always embody the eras image in clothing.

This subject gives participants wide opportunities for philosophical reflections and artistic self-expression.
