№ PH_11000017_UA - Limited Edition of 1 Photograph

Original art cannot be shipped to the territory of the Russian Federation. The photo is the exhibit from my first personal photo exhibition 2017 (10 works were presented altogether). The shot was taken with Kodak ColorPlus 200 on FED Trudkommuna NKVD camera of 1936 make and printed on photo paper. The concept of the photo exhibition is to ‘capture in time the architectural and natural monuments of Kharkiv in 2017 with a camera made in the same city as far back as in 1936 with the hands of homeless children’. The photo project started from the moment FED Trudkommuna NKVD camera came to me in a non-working condition. I found a workshop where they could repair it. Serial number 20478 stated that this camera was made in 1936. FED Trudkommuna NKVD cameras at that time were a copy of German Leica II (Leica D) and assembled by teenagers that were part of Felix Dzerzhinsky Kharkiv Labor Commune, where homeless children and juvenile offenders were studying and working. There is a very high chance that the teenager, who assembled that very camera in the thirties of the 20th century, admired some of the architectural structures that became part of the photo exhibition. I am pleased with the fact that I managed to bring back an old camera to life: a camera that was assembled with a child's hands, which contributed to the emergence of a modern art project. Prior to the opening of the photo exhibition, a set of postcards containing a complete series of my FED Trudkommuna NKVD’36 works was printed in an edition of 500 pieces.
