Anastasia
Khoroshilova
In the private relationship with the subject of her photographs,
Khoroshilova records the person in front of her lens without passing
judgment of any kind or resorting to lyricism or sentimentality. It is
rather that her photographs tend to reveal the paradox that the subject
of her portraits coincides with the ‚function’ or the place in which
they are set, but behind this lies hidden great humanity suffused with
emotions, needs, desires, fears, suffering and hope. There is no
evidence of all this in the photography, only a latent evocation.
