Initially, the shooting was started with the documentary purpose of capturing newly built houses and newly built streets in the Byvalovo neighborhood. I was prompted to do this by a group about old Vologda, which publishes photos from different years with views of the city that are sometimes difficult to recognize.
In the pictures of those web community, there are also new buildings, which are now considered to be long-lived areas.
I thought, what if in half a century people will also look at my pictures and discuss how new neighborhoods and streets once appeared?
I can also take a picture of a field where new areas will appear sometime in the future.
Although six years is a very short time to live in a new city for me, during this time I was able to see how an open field turned into an entire neighborhood or even a huge street connecting two parts of the city.
And also the dilapidated neighborhoods that I captured are gradually starting to disappear.
Now to the documentation method: in this case, deadpan is best suited.
Just the dry facts: a new house, a new street, some elements or objects of the construction process, general plans.
There are no hidden meanings here, only one purpose – a testimony of time, a document.
If the courtyard spaces that I once captured are not always and not quite deadpan, then this scale is definitely it!
And here, too, it may be partly a simple urban landscape.
Still, it was the first shoot after a long break. I'll show you true deadpan again!
Every country is progressing, and in span of year, a lot of changes could happen
