My project is built around a concept - every moment is important. I showed it from an unexpected angle - I combined ballet, art and fashion in the project. I think about time through the prism of the generalized history of art and the history of watches. Inspired by the works of artists from different eras (Antiquity, Renaissance, Surrealism, Conceptualism), I wrote my photo history, in which I conveyed my understanding, my sense of time in different periods of human civilization.
Seconds, minutes, hours... Sometimes you don't notice how they fly by. Sometimes a second lasts forever. In any case, there is a silent, cold–blooded mechanism that is disciplined in counting down the most valuable thing in life - time.
Each period of history offers a new form and mechanism of time counting: sand, pendulum, quartz, electronic, etc. It also offers new requirements for how much, what and how a person should be in time for a certain moment. In a race against time, you stop being aware of that very time.
The frenzied pace of modern life, when we solve a lot of tasks in one second,
we want to slow down and realize the moment, enjoy it, feel it – an fleeting moment.
Daria Ustyuzhanina, a ballet dancer of the Mariinsky Theater, took part in the project.
