The project represents a dialogue between two photographers, one based in Moscow (Ela Kinowska) and the other in Berlin (Marek Pozniak). In this case, the two photographers work together, exposing the same negative twice: Marek Pozniak in Berlin and Ela Kinowska in Moscow use the camera obscura technique without knowing what has already been exposed on the negative. The final result surprises us with images in which the two capital cities blend together so that it is impossible to tell which is which. This project opens the door not only to a dialogue between the two photographers but also invites the public to enter spaces without borders or political barriers.

The project was carried out over four years between the two cities. The concept is framed within the “slow photography movement” as opposed to the current “instant photography gratification”.
The exhibition opens on June 8, 2017 from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm and will be on view until July 22, 2017 during regular hours.
