PrizeHonorable Mention
We create landscapes, take photos of nature. But what if trees, rivers and plants can become more involved in creating the final portrait of themselves? With the help of experimental techniques, I involve nature in co-creation. I soaked rolls of films into waters of rivers, swamps, lakes, seas and quarries in different places in Ukraine and Germany. I added leaves, twigs, sand into waters. I shot these films at the same areas from where waters were. Nature left unique print that will never be the same again. Nature took part in creating these works. It is also an effect and a model.
