Fairytales is a work about the mystery and myth of the largest
country in the world. Treading the line between poignant realism
and humorous fantasy, Frank Herfort's project Fairy Tale of Russia
is a mesmerising, thought-provoking and at times chilling
collection of photographs from his journey through Russia. Surreal
imagery, colours and scenes lead on to candid shots of post-soviet
aesthetic in an honest and strikingly human sequence of photos.
German photographer Frank Herfort has spent over a decade
photographing the insides and outsides of spaces throughout the
East. His style is influenced by social realism: people are shown
in their everyday life, which seems to be made up by banal details.
His large-format artworks are hence an artistic combination of the
surreal and the straight-lined, with an irony detectable in the
pictorial language. Herfort's work brings a modern twist, seemingly
imported from the outside, that eradicates markers of time or
context and persuades the viewer to create their own narrative. The
images make a surreal, absurd impression; they raise more questions
than they answer. Each image in this series stands alone and tell
its own story, but together they seem to tell a whole fairytale.
Text in English, French, and German.
