Star around the front door
Photos of the ceilings of old and abandoned buildings of the metropolis.
As a symbol of the lost beautiful heritage, they are covered with constellations of soot from burning matches thrown at them by teenagers.
Imitating the traces of a yard ritual known to many since childhood, matches cast from brass are installed in the photo. Digging is imitated with black ink and charcoal, drops of acrylic paint resemble the starry sky.
Each work is unique.
Dmitry Sirotkin (born 1969 in Leningrad, USSR) is a Russian artist-photographer and book designer, an employee of the editorial and publishing department of the State Hermitage. During a personal exhibition of the artist's photographs at the Hermitage, art critic Arkady Ippolitov named him one of the key authors of modern Petersburg photography, along with Boris Smelov.
In recent projects, he demonstrates a gravitation towards large topics (growing up, human goal-setting, the continuity of generations and cultures). In addition to photography, he uses video, painting and objects as means of expression. The artist is attracted by the possibilities of digital technologies, artificial intelligence, blockchain - technologies that he gradually begins to use in his works, complicating them and partially moving them into the online space.
