The project consists of two parts: Gamers and Training Halls.
Large-format portraits is a typological approach to a new image of a sportsman, who, due to the electronic form of competition, does not have a physical representation known to his rival. In this project, the person of a gamer is revealed to everyone. But this is not about exposing or trying to match the reality with the mental or virtual image of individuals.
This is a sort of analysis of Cyber Environment and people who constitute it. Photographs of the room interiors create an interesting overlaying of two realities. They fulfi ll the role of a training site for everyday gaming practice, as well as a normal bedroom, where details and objects betray the history of growing up in this place. The mixture of the training place of an e-gamer with his personal surroundings create a very interesting and detailed picture.
In 2008 Gamers project was granted a scholarship from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
