I don't know why, but I've never liked nude photography. Often too bold. But her pictures become one with nature and the elements, her pictures show me a real connection to nature and speak to me.

I have something valuable to convey

"Self-Portrait" - March 2024 made by Polaroid xs70

I think we should get a little closer, so let me introduce myself. My name is Antonina and it's been 29 years since I arived to the planet earth. This long time became an advantage for my study of local phenomena. The first years of my life were spent in a post-socialist country, which undoubtedly left indelible imprints in my soul. Despite my adherence to Western culture as a mythical ideal propagandized by my surroundings during my youth, I still managed to find my own truth and now I see Western society as nothing more than a dressed up doll with a deformed body. But it has been a long journey. Undoubtedly my education in the philosophical sciences and the fact that I now live in the withering center of Europe's cradle, namely Germany, namely Berlin, have shaped my worldview. In the name of self-preservation from the destructive power of the consumer culture of the environment, I am practicing the art of photography. Although this story began a long time ago, before the apple fell on my head and I tasted what it was like to live in a "democratic society" where the concept of democracy is used for utilitarian, context-dependent purposes.

I use my camera to create stories. My Aunt Zina and my fondness for classical literature taught me a lot of this.

Sometimes it seems to me that I live somewhere in the middle between the past and the present. I often can see that my habits and behavior can easily disorient the observer, as my diligent reading of philosophical newspapers in the morning with a cup of coffee does not correspond to my light-hearted appearance.

But this is only at first glance and it all depends on the observer himself. I have some training in acting, which I use for playfulness in my life. In my system of values, action takes precedence over reflection, although it requires its support for ethically correct actions, which for me, without compromise, act as guidelines for a noble life.

My philosophical thoughts and photo diary will be continued in the future and published on this blog.
