Sergei Pavlov
20-25
15.10.–28.10.2020
Johannes Romppanen invited me to this project. I sent over 1000 images to him from which he chose small edit and made an proposing layout. We had discussions about the images and about the selection. The images we’re consisted mostly documentary portraits of my family, friends and an lover. Photos remind me of many countries, few years and million memories. It felt so free to let go of the role of choosing the images and trying to create the story. Of course, I see the stories behind the images but Johannes didn’t. I felt it’s more interesting to combine this kind of way of working. Very personal work edited mostly by person who doesn’t know too much behind the images. The name to the publication came from my age. Images were done when I was 20 - 25 years old. I had certain style of working which has changed vey much now. In a way this reminds me of the craving for freedom and hunger for adventure. Yet, reminds me that the only way to grow is some how to let go.
Sergei Pavlov (b.1994) is Russian-Finnish photographer. His photographic works consist mostly of series made of documentary black and white portraits. Either project-based working or more auto-fictive storytelling, the main theme in his work is to study, define and questions the human condition with an emotional perspective.
