Boris Mikhailov, a prominent photographer, captures the essence of life during and after the Soviet Union through his unique lens. His latest exhibition, 'Refracted Times,' showcases a compelling video of his montage work, blending unexpected imagery with a Pink Floyd soundtrack. Mikhailov's art plays with themes of hardship and irony, often contrasting nude figures with dreary landscapes to explore suppressed desires. He gained recognition only after the fall of the Soviet regime, allowing him to exhibit publicly and share his innovative visual commentary on Soviet life without censorship.
Mikhailov presents a sequence of images, often using pairs to highlight themes and incongruities, exploring life's complexities with humor and melancholy.
The exhibition at Marian Goodman features a video that reproduces Mikhailov's original projections, synchronized with a Pink Floyd soundtrack, showcasing his innovative approach.
