Gueorgui Pinkhassov Kiev train station, Moscow, Russia. 1995.
“At some point I became more fascinated by the magic of photography than by its content. Or rather, the magic itself became the content. The metaphysics
(...) of pattern replaced the physics of content. Everyday narratives are unworthy of eternity’s design. Meaning has lost meaning, and harmony dictates the world order.
As for this photo – I don’t remember what happened there. Who were these people in uniform, why did they come to the station platform? It didn’t really interest me. I was trying to capture the instant, that unexpected decisive moment, and paint my canvas out of spots and lines, leaving the viewer to guess at the events.”
