Little Commentary

Stereographs are part of a bigger work called "Little Commentary." It is an exploration of human beings' relation to landscape through photography as well as an attempt to study the medium of photography itself and it's desire to document.

It is a collaborative project by Eliso Tsintsabadze and Pavel Filkov and is presented through various photographic media: Instant film, alternative processes, stereo photographic media, as well as video and traditional silver gelatin prints. The stereographs are part of the visual photographic study, a tribute to an old technology from the 19th century, which puts a spectator into an illusionary realm, like a small window, it is interconnected with a childhood experience of magic and fascination.

"Something ancient was between, people were always gazing on the stars from the surface which connects us all, but we always search for a way to describe and give an explanation for what we see, we want to conquer, we want to be there, we want to be everywhere. One day, maybe, it will happen and we will disappear again in this ancient void."
