"If one wonders, where is it from the new photography in Russia
arises, it turns out that it exists and appears only because of desire.
The desire of photographers to go till the very end of understanding of
themselves and the surrounding reality, excluding with the willful
effort the mundane indifference of spectators, market and professionals
to the art as well as documentary photography in Russia." - Nadya
Sheremetova, the Curator
