Odesa in summer. 2019

-




We have been living in Limassol for the second year now; we left on February 24, the first day the war began. For Radu and I, there are no problems with moving – we are used to it. We lived in South Africa for many years in a row, but leaving not of our own free will is scary. Every day I watch the news, and in the event of an air raid, I worry along with the heroes who did not leave our beautiful country. I pray that the city is not destroyed and I can’t imagine how terrible our Ukraine looks now. Some people believe in God, others in the devil, but I pray to the universe that peace will come and we can return. And with you, I share photographs I took in the summer of 2019, three years before the war!

Одеса літня. 2019
Вже другий рік ми живемо в Лімассолі-виїхали 24 лютого, першого ж дня початку війни. Для нас із Радою не виникає проблем із переїздом- ми звикли. Багато років поспіль прожили у Південній Африці, але виїхати не з власної волі, це страшно. Щодня я дивлюся новини, у разі повітряних тривог переживаю разом з героями, які не залишили нашу прекрасну країну. Молюся про те, щоб місто не зруйнували і не можу собі уявити, як моторошно тепер виглядає наша Україна. Хтось вірить у бога, хтось у диявола, а благаю всесвіт про те, щоб настав світ і ми змогли б повернутися. А з вами я ділюся фотографіями зробленими мною влітку 2019 року, за три роки до війни!

VERA KHOLODNAYA

VERA KHOLODNAYA I perfectly understand that my short stories are much easier to read, but sometimes it takes me more time to talk about the interesting things that happened in my life and in my gallery. So ask, I will highlight several publications for this material. This is about my author’s project dedicated to the memory of silent film actress Vera Kholodnaya. I called it - "Last Tango" It seems to me that the dignity and greatness of every nation is to preserve cultural values. At all times, rulers, politicians wrote their own history for the people. At one time, in a Soviet school, we studied Marxist-Leninist aesthetics and built communism, and today our children learn the history of Independent Ukraine. Historical facts are distorted. Only the cultural heritage, names and life stories of interesting people, people of art - artists, actors, musicians remain unforgettable. But the interpretation of their names and meanings changes in the same way as history. ...

"The Last Tango"art project by Tatyana Binovska, Maritime Art Gallery, Odessa 2001

"The Last Tango" Art Project, by Tatyana Binovska Vera Kholodnaya was a real star of silent cinema and photographs with her image came out in mass print runs. The exhibition featured more than 200 photographs. Vadim Vadimovich Kostromenko, the permanent director of the Odessa Film Studio Cinema Museum, gave us several boxes with an old film. We pulled a fishing line throughout the gallery, hung files with legends about the life and death of V.Kholodnaya on it. You know, it turned out that it is very important that our viewers are very fond of reading, and later on at the next exhibitions I used this feature. The Cinema Museum provided a camera and a projector for use at the time.  The centre of the hall, so modern and cold, we separated with a thin muslin, which became the border between the past and the present. The interior of the room was recreated, which was collected from objects of that time. Interestingly, museum items were used - a screen, a dressing table, h...
