RUSSIAN BEAUTY
A joint photo project by artist Vasily Slonov, gallery 11.12 and CarpeDiemFilm
The Russian beauty is cosmopolitan.
Too much blood is mixed into her.
The Russian beauty has many faces: long-eyed and slanted, plump and slender, dark and fair-skinned.
The Russian beauty is a brand. A façade and a justification. An ace up the sleeve. A mystery, an inexplicable paradox.
The Russian beauty is not man-made. Free from angularity and clumsiness—as if imported and nurtured in spite of it.
The Russian beauty is wrapped in a greasy quilted jacket. On her head is an iron cap.
A cap should adorn and emphasize grandeur. But it can also maim and crush.
A cap is heavy. It glitters in the sun, rattles its chains.
A cap is a weapon. With it we win.
A cap digs into the flesh, scratches the skin, leaves bruises.
The Russian beauty is burdened by it. But she cannot shake it off – enchanted by its cold metallic sheen.
The Russian beauty is a slave. A concubine and a bride. She is raised on a banner and held in a black body.
Russian beauty is long-suffering.
Russian beauty can kill.
Русская красавица космополитична. Слишком много крови замешано в ней.
Русская красавица многолика: волоока и раскоса, полнотела и стройна, смугла и белокожа.
Русская красавица бренд. Фасад и оправдание. Козырь в рукаве. Загадка, необъяснимый парадокс.
Русская красавица нерукотворна. Лишена угловатости и топорности – словно привнесена извне и взращена вопреки.
Русская красавица закутана в засаленный ватник. В железной шапке на голове.
Шапка должна украшать и подчеркивать величие. Но может искалечить и раздавить.
Шапка тяжела. Сверкает на солнце, гремит цепями.
Шапка – оружие. Ей мы побеждаем.
Шапка впивается в тело, царапает кожу, оставляет синяки.
Русская красавица тяготится ей. Но не в силах сбросить - очарованная её холодным металлическим блеском.
Русская красавица невольница. Наложница и невеста. Ее поднимают на знамя и держат в черном теле.
Русская красота долготерпима.
Русская красота может убить.
