Ivan Mikhailov

Russian Federation • 1981

Biography

With a
scientific and objective approach inherited from the Dusseldorf school of
photography, from where come famous artists such as Andreas Gursky or Bernd and
Hilla Becher, Ivan Mikhailov, born in 1981 in the Russian region of
Tchouvachia, investigate in his photographic projects the reality of the
contemporary Russia, giving a documentary and almost cataloging dimension to
this artwork.

The
photographs of Ivan Mikhailov depict a reality that seems to be far from us :
soviet-style playgrounds made of rockets from another era, recalling the soviet
dream that each child should become a cosmonaut, or young people, covered with
plaids, who seem lost looking to the buildings of a huge city.
