THE POWER OF SIMPLICITY

Photographer: Vera Blansh

Film director: Ivan Sautkin

Art-critic: Kostiantyn Doroshenko

Vera Blansh watches film director Ivan Sautkin playing with the sea. A minimum of effects, and a maximum of openness - to the natural, alive, momentary. To the spontaneity of the movement of life, which, unlike plans and schemes, actually shapes the present, defines the future. As if he emerged from the cinema of Italian neo-realism, which turned ordinary people into movie stars, the hero of these frames is strong in his defenselessness, naive openness to the moment. Like the sea itself, in this case - the Azov. The shallowest one on the planet, it is as passionate about its waves, ebb and flow as its greater brethren. Just the way every human is carried away and lead on by their emotions and feelings. In the works of Vera Blansh, people are as if they did not know that they were filmed. Perfectly elemental.
