Photo project Classical Petersburg
Exposition Classical Petersburg presents the photographs of dancers of legendary Saint-Petersburg ballet school in the background of historical landmarks of the city. The main task of the project is to distract the visitor from the time of uncertainty, crisis, and illness to the immortal beauty of Saint-Petersburg architecture and ballet excellence.
The mission is to reveal the bond between St. Petersburg's ballet school and the architectural tradition. Silhouettes of the edifices, urbanized modernity, strict geometry of bridges, and streets are intertwining with gracious poses of professional dancers. Using photography, I endeavored to show the language of spacious arts - the Ballet and the Architecture to speak with viewers about the mutual influence of a man and urban area.
The photo exposition was admitted into the program of the IX St. Petersburg International Forum within Cultural Tourism group, which was to have taken place November 12-14 but was canceled due to the coronavirus crisis.
