SIMULATED REALITY

Simulated Reality is a photographic series created on medium format film, where analog imagery becomes the foundation for digital modeling. Presented at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art and acquired for its collection, the series explores the intricate relationship between humans and the material world they inhabit.

Every day, as I move through the routine of life, I encounter objects—some I engage with, others simply pass by. These encounters, fleeting and transient, exist as immanent moments, slipping into memory or fading into detachment. This series seeks to capture and reimagine these interactions, transforming them into a visual study of perception and connection.

By integrating digital simulations with analog photography, Simulated Reality examines the systematic nature of how we classify and interact with objects. It offers a perspective where the web of connections between “thing” and “human” reveals itself as both structural and intimate. The layering of digital constructs over film imagery creates a visual dialogue between the tangible and the conceptual, inviting the viewer to reflect on how our perception shapes and is shaped by the objects we encounter daily.

This series transcends the boundaries of documentary photography, presenting a conceptual framework that redefines the mundane as a profound narrative of coexistence and connection.
