Warm images of Russian North, or Time goes in its own way at photo display of Konstantin Dorrendorf!
Sometimes black-and-white pictures have even more life, than vivid and multicoloured. Here you can see a woman rinsing linen on the wooden platform at the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery and an elderly woman carrying her grandson on the shoulders! Look at these pictures – here is a meeting of old friends, a surface of Lake Siverskoye, untroubled and not, a portrait of somebody… Kizhi, Kargopol, Ferapontovo and Kirillov! It seemed that everything should change at least a little bit as 60 years have passed. But when you look at the photos of Konstantin Dorrendorf, you understand that everything is alive like in memory!
Konstantin Konstantinovich Dorrendorf learned to stop the time even before the 1950s. The power engineer by education took the first steps in photography under the direction of his father, engineer and amateur photographer.
The most valuable for him are the black-and-white pictures taken in the 1950s-1960s. The author saw a field for creative activity exactly in optimism of the thaw period. The photographer born in Moscow in 1938 mentioned the pictures of M. Nappelbaum and the Czech photography magazines among the strongest artistic impressions.
He told about all this at the opening ceremony of the display presenting his works in the Refectory of the Kirillo-Belozersky Museum-Reserve. It is titled “Russian North in Photographs of K.K. Dorrendorf”. “All exhibited pictures were taken during two trips to the North - to Kizhi in 1964 and to Solovki in 1965. In both trips, I was accompanied by some historians - his wife’s fellow students, visitors of the Department of Manuscripts in the V. I. Lenin State Library of the USSR…”, explained Konstantin Dorrendorf. “We went on foot and by something else, making a stop for a day or so, sometimes for a week (in a hayloft in Kizhi)”.
He still remembers his hiking from Ferapontovo to Kirillov when he took wonderful pictures. Konstantin Dorrendorf is sure, “A modern tourist doesn’t see this picture very often”. Nevertheless, now all visitors of the Kirillo-Belozersky Museum-Reserve will have such an opportunity. The exhibition of active photos where even churches and wooden houses are not “monuments” that the author shows in all details, but a part of the landscape – an organic part of the Russian North – will be open till September 15.
The photo display will be open in the Refectory of the Kirillo-Belozersky Museum-Reserve till September 15.
