Tales
Since the 17th century and up till now the Urals form the industrial center of the country. After the Russians had completed the colonization of the region, the industrial civilization became a new layer in the history of the Urals.
However, myths and reality, past and present of the Urals coexist today creating a peculiar Ural world different from anything else. Ancient pagan images guard mountains, rivers, forests and the impregnate minds of the people living here.
'When I was a child, I often traveled to the old past in my dreams, to those days, that are gone for good, thus impossible to experience. All that was left was to imagine. As a photographer, I became interested in looking for peculiar wormholes, the parallel worlds, societies, where time and history seemed to be frozen. From this point of view, I explore local territories and find it exciting when the past, fairy tales or myths suddenly come up through the surface of well-known reality.'
