Dear friends from Berlin! Tomorrow we are going to open “Dead End Street” exhibition together with @manuelosterholt at the @hvw8gallery from 6pm, Linienstrasse 161
HVW8 Gallery Berlin and Berlin Photo Week are pleased to present DEAD END STREET, a double pop-up photography exhibition featuring Nikita Teryoshin and Manuel Osterholt.
With the work “I‘ve never been to Russia“, which began in 2019 and shows Russia going astray, Teryoshin deals with his homeland, which is gradually slipping into fascism. Whether religious parades or Victory Day in the pouring rain with slogans like “We could repeat it!“ on the red square, studios of propaganda tv shows or the notorious “Pavlov‘s dog“ under museum glass in St.Petersburg, which stands for classical conditioning, Teryoshin is always looking for suitable motifs that describe his feeling towards the zeitgeist. However, an always critical photo-documentary examination leads to a dead end on February 24th, 2022. Teryoshin posts a picture of a burning Russian passport under the caption “Not in my Name“ and decides not to return to his homeland for the time being in protest against the war.
