synopsis
In [02-24-2022], Alexander Gronsky shares the first views of his new series - a still-unfinished visual chronicle of the author's journey through the calendar, the seasons and the outlying districts of a city unknown to us maybe not. The date, 02-24-2022, is the context and title of this rare publication. The photographs are stops in Gronsky's suburban stroll – like a subjective documentary, he crafts a disturbing and powerful allegory of an encroaching city.

about Alexander Gronsky
Defining himself as a “landscape” photographer, Alexander Gronsky, originally from Estonia, does not fail to tell stories in his work. Those of isolated and silent lives.
By playing with perspectives, his sense of composition and his mastery of lighting allow him to bring his images closer to traditional Russian painting. As in his Reconstruction series, where he revisits the codes of war painting by photographing amateurs during scenes of military reenactments – and thus reconstructs great historical battles. His other series, The Edge, focuses on the snow in Moscow and offers a reflection on the isolation of human beings within an urban environment.
