Today , June 1, at 19.00 at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (Petrovka 25) will open a personal exhibition Timothy Parschikova Suspense.

This exhibition - the result of visual investigation of Timothy Parschikova as the photographer, a cameraman and director - unites the work made over the past three years in the cities of Europe and Russia.

Suspense in the film - it is an unresolved conflict, the incompleteness of the situation, a clot of vague inexplicable anxiety. This technique emerged in the postwar years, almost immediately finding new reading to the second wave of European existentialism and how can better suited to describe the unaccountable sadness gripped the postwar world. But unlike film, where the precisely measured concern encompasses the audience at the will of the director, in real life sense of inadvertent alarm was uncontrolled and all-pervasive. Inherent human originally, these days it is compounded and fed information environment, which is essentially fixed for the disaster. This environment, globalization space has eroded its internal borders and at the same time acted razobschayusche: anxiety turned into isolation and vulnerability of an individual's fear of the unknown.

Photographer doomed to traverse the space - not physically, so look and in this sense it as a traveler insecure others. The feeling of suspense are equally unpredictable catches up with him on a deserted quay in Istanbul or in the middle of a crowded area of Naples. Photography becomes a shield, protecting from shock and reconciling with the unknown. Parschikov trying to fix the confusion that arises on the verge of collapse the fragile internal equilibrium. Private aesthetic experience reveals the photographer's nervousness of the situation and commits its incompleteness.

Parschikov often sends alarm through the gloomy drama poisonous-colored lighting, which is invisible, indistinguishable or behind the scenes is just as important as and the fact that in the frame. The ability to balance in photography statics and dynamics based on its excellent knowledge of cinema. The author works with exquisite color, shadows and contrasts of elaborating an effort to get closer to the visual archetype of their search - the films noir "of the forties and neonuar" seventies.

The exposure draft Timothy Parschikov chose close and sign for themselves the image of cinema: the work shown in a darkened space, and alternately flashing and expiring light boxes with photographs turn into discrete, deconstructed screen. Unsure flickering objects in a dark room maintained soundtrack. Background noises, usually go unnoticed at the time of alarm actualized, and fill our field of perception.

In the works of Timothy Parschikova suspense permeates the environment, urban space and inhabit his characters.

exhibition is open to the public from 2 to 27 June 2010.
