Treading the line between poignant realism and humorous fantasy, \nFrank Herfort's project Fairy Tale of Russia is a mesmerising, \nthought-provoking and at times chilling collection of photographs from \nhis journey through Russia. Surreal imagery, colours and scenes lead on \nto candid shots of post-soviet aesthetic in an honest and strikingly \nhuman sequence of photos. German photographer Frank Herfort has spent \nover a decade photographing the insides and outsides of spaces \nthroughout the East. His style is influenced by social realism: people \nare shown in their everyday life, which seems to be made up by banal \ndetails. His large-format artworks are hence an artistic combination of \nthe surreal and the straight-lined, with an irony detectable in the \npictorial language. Herfort's work brings a modern twist, seemingly \nimported from the outside, that eradicates markers of time or context \nand persuades the viewer to create their own narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe images\n make a surreal, absurd impression; they raise more questions than they \nanswer. Each image in this series stands alone and tell its own story, \nbut together they seem to tell a whole fairytale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eText in English, French, and German.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kerber Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54227382665560,"sku":"9783735606860","price":44.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783735606860.jpg?v=1765001721","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/frank-herfort","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
