Description

These photographs are the third part of my series DOM. I constructed interiors using some details from the past – the 60s, this period called in Russia “thaw”.

I didn’t aim to create a realistic image, but rather the opposite, I was attracted by the opportunity to reflect on my interpretation of the time, which only mildly touched me and I can recall only the sun’s rays through the curtains, the sound of the tram in the early morning and the smell of snow, and my mum in the mirror when she was still doing hairstyle with hairpins. But maybe I don’t remember it, and I save the image, what I once saw in the photograph? Where memories ends and fantasy begins? I’m seeking in my imagination some sketches necessary to create a model those memories that arise like mirrored fragments and reflect one thing after another.

 

This series is for me like a game, an attempt to create a non-existent reality. A small theater with decorations made of cardboard which I immediately destroy after taking a picture. This is capability of search to replace my memories with found, invented, constructed image. Those times revoked in me, although I did failed to realize about the traumatic moments, all I know only by hearsay. So I create my story, I come up it as a fairy tale in which comfortably stay. And the past is not so scary, but on the contrary is attractive because I separated from these events through temporal and artistic distance.

 

Julia Borissova is an Estonia-born, St Petersburg-based artist who works with photography, collage, installation and book making. Borissova’s works become a place of actualisation for a wide range of topics, among which the central theme is the questioning of truth and fiction. The book is her natural medium to contemplate real stories and blends documentary elements with imaginary things. Her artists’ books include: Let Me Fall Again (2018), White Blonde (2018), Red Giselle (2017), Libretto (2016), Dimitry (2016), J.B. about men floating in the air (2015), Address (2015), DOM (Document Object Model) (2014), Running to the Edge (2014), The Farther Shore (2013).
