The Big Unknown

Sometimes the human being understands his spirit through an architecture that may never become real. Fantasy is that imagination fruit which knows itself as fiction. This is a photographic series of recreational scenarios where the human being has abandoned his identity-selfness to become an imaginary-self.  In this architecture of the distraction is where mankind looks to built an ephemeral reality. Lucid Eutopia observed this scenarios faraway from its usual function, looking for another  meaning, perhaps more mysterious and tenebrous without its feedbacker component. The photographic works are made during night-time via long expositions. In this desert moment, the oeuvre captures the flow of time, manifesting the actual space activity, bringing back its autonomy and life, moving away from the static image. Lucid Eutopia opens a dialogue over the meaning of these spaces and our need to make them a sanctuary to take refuge.

2016. The world promised by the October Revolution had to be not only fair and prosperous, but to also colonise the outer space. Socialism should have been established not only in space, but also in time, aided by technology which would allow to turn time into eternity. But over time, the economical failures had also brought disillusionment about the political utopia and about the promised bright future. In Lost Horizon, Tkachenko shot objects, which represent the image of the ideal cosmic future. He chose the format 6×6, encapsulating the utopian state projects into the Suprematist form of his fellow compatriot artist founder of the Russian Avant-Garde Kasimir Malevich’s ‘The Black Square’ from 1917, which being a revolutionary art piece, reflects the historical epoch it was conceived in.
