I was in Moscow this spring for another project. Fortunately, I had a day off, so I decided to visit The State Tretyakov Gallery for the first time. The gallery was quite extensive, primarily showcasing Russian art, particularly paintings. It was a highly touristy place, with many visitors taking pictures, almost as if they try to acknowledge to themselves that they have been there. Instead of taking pictures, I chose to make notes of the names of the paintings.
This piece is an imagined catalog of The State Tretyakov Gallery, illustrated by recalling the original titles of the paintings. I am particularly interested in exploring the relationship between memory and imagination, as I believe they originate from the same source. In this sense, I believe that what you imagine is equivalent to what you remember when looking at your old photographs.
