Sasha Gusov

Center for Photography Lumiere Brothers, Moscow

Comedy of manners, curator Katerina Ilina. What makes mankind, when he had not been watching? It diligently and enthusiastically heading into the abyss. Looking at black and white pictures Gusova, more assured in the thought that the world deserved every second the approaching its crisis once again. To this truth appeared before us in all its obviousness, photographer happily worked for the past 25 years. Sasha has traveled the world, filming everything that seems interesting to him. His images - a kind of anthropological investigation of the essence of modern man. Who we are, who we are, where we are going and how absurd we look at this. Despite the seriousness of the theme, in Sasha's approach to the subject a lot of irony and good humor. Gusov sure that people are not as sinful or wicked as elementary weak. "I had no desire to shock or scare, - says the photographer - I would then shot the slums and other horror. I wanted to show the weakness of ordinary everyday people. We live in an era of consumption. Instead of walls - media advertising, instead travelers - tourists, instead of citizens - consumers, instead of the holidays - the sale, instead of a spiritual guide - money. "
