Igor Vasiliadis quote from FORBES interview: “I always have an inner conflict between the contemporary and the eternal in my art.
Fashion, motion and emotion are quite temporal and changing. Composition and the clear sculptural beauty of art nudes are perpetual.
I love old techniques and equipment with long exposures of up to one minute, because this gives time for the soul of my models to come out from deep inside.
Dark tonality, artefacts of drying emulsion and all the mysticism brought by silver and cyanides create the world of mystery, hidden from our eyes in the temporary and momentary world. They can be seen only during rare momentary lapses of reason, when we drop out of reality.
Poisonous vapours of substances used in the process of developing and emulsion ether change your consciousness to the stage when you see things in a different way. The future and the past are visible and are parts of the same. Each thing of beauty uncovers itself as a particular implication of eternal great substance, driving our civilisation forward and caring about it at the same time…
I shoot directly on blackened silver plates 8x10 activated with cadmium salts contained in emulsion. The techniques are similar to the wet plates used in the mid-nineteenth century with some minor improvements and differences.
I also use ambrotypes sometimes, then scan
plates for large-format prints or make contact
prints on albumen paper”.
