Gennadiy Chernega: Stray Dog Story
© Sinyagur
'Stray Dog' tag cloud
Communicative visual honest intimate as the open palm
quiet calm about the important like a discussion at three o'clock in the smoke in the kitchen
and does not sleep is not sleeping at all anxious city watery eyes and freezes from lack of sleep in trains
trembling hands
and a cozy shade at home and a neighbor are around the corner to buy bread 200gramm of cat food and some vodka
Everything is as usual
all is well
well is fragile
barely hearable crackle in radios of the war
tomorrow, already yes, everything is well too
but suspiciously dry eyes
and sugary shriek from the silver screen
peace forever is gone from (me / you)
Dog leash as a sign of confidence and a thin thread of communication with the author. Keeping it, stroking the box, shots, watching, and Gena watches as well. However, we talk and keep silent, probably not always productive. Today, Stray Dog went with me. So I'm not a bad person. This is probably one of the few projects where the author can be asked in detail about each shot taken, about his internal state and external cues. It is this intimate submission, the story told to each viewer personally that makes it unique and accords with the content. These are small pictures from life, they have no heroism, but a lot of quiet hysteria and hidden drama. It seems that Gena is a bit shy of the simplicity and ordinariness of the pictures. While they are important. We always remember from our childhood some trivia: a pitted mug, a funny signboard in the opposite house, how many steps are from the entrance to our door. And never - the exact coordinates and epic battles. Goodness and Evil grow from the little things of everyday life, that's why these notes in the margins are so important.
