Exhibition at the Kashirskaya Moscow Metro station

This December at the Kashirskaya metro station of the Moscow Metro, an exhibition of the project dedicated to women, who recovered from cancer by photographer Olga Pavlova was opened. The exhibition was curated by Victoria Marmur.

I was responsible for the "architecture" of the project. In quotes, because we didn't build anything. But it was necessary to figure out how to arrange 40 images on 120 meters of the platform on a crooked temporary wall that couldn’t be drilled or pinned with nails.

It was important not only to choose the correct scale of work, materials, to come up with the idea, dimensions, rhythm, and mutual arrangement of the photographs, but also to figure out how to work with the text in order to eventually transfer the spirit and sense of the project from the digital field to the exhibition format.

What was the most interesting for me? To work with the metro space. People there perceive images not only from the platform, but also from the passing trains. This means that the composition should be dynamically readable not only from the perspective and volume of the station, but from any window of a passing train as well.
