5 - 13 December. Online exhibition

Online exhibition “Fairy Tales of the City on the Neva”

Online exhibition of Anna Pitirimova “Fairy Tales of the city on the Neva” is an interactive introduction to the main attractions of St. Petersburg through a combination of urban photography and children's drawings.

According to the author of the photo project, waters of St. Petersburg reflect not only the architectural and historical image of the city, but also children's dreams, and tales about the city’s great past, painted by young residents of the cultural capital of Russia.

There are 15 photos in the exhibit. Anna Pitirimova’s art photography is based on the combination of visual images taken from two different artistic practices: children's drawings and city photography. Built into photos of the city landscape, children's drawings break down into semi-abstract elements or preserve only their contours, illustrating the filling of the city with children's fantasies. Rivers and canals of New Year St. Petersburg become the point of contact between reality and the world of fantasy depicted in photos.

The exhibition project “Fairy Tales of the city on the Neva” by St. Petersburg artist Anna Pitirimova has been specially prepared for the cultural festival “Children's St. Petersburg online”. The project was created using city photos by Alexander Ignatovich (St. Petersburg) and children’s drawings by children from St. Petersburg Kindergarten for Children with Special Developmental Needs.
