€ 23,00
In 1976 at an American Cultural Exchange Exhibit in Kiev - 'Photography USA' at the height of the cold war, Russian men, women and children could view themselves in a full length mirror and assume whatever stance and expression they considered appropriate, before operating a long cable-release that triggered lighting/shutter of a view-camera. This activated further cameras, each from different view-points. The results being somewhat different than expected.
In 1976, during the Cold War, the 'Photography USA' exhibit at an American Cultural Exchange in Kiev allowed Russian participants to view themselves in a full-length mirror and pose before using a cable release to activate a view camera. This innovative setup also triggered additional cameras from various perspectives. The project captured the participants' self-curated reflections, producing results that differed from initial expectations. This exhibit explored themes of self-perception, cultural exchange, and differing perspectives, highlighting the technical and artistic collaboration that transcended political boundaries of the era.
