Yuri Mechitov presents Sergei Paradschanov – Collages in Central Europe for the first time

We are pleased to be able to present the well-known Georgian photographer Yuri Mechitov once again at the nEUROPA gallery. Mechitov accompanied the career of the influential and controversial Soviet-Russian director Sergei Paradjanov with his camera for many years. Paradjanov created milestones in Soviet-Russian film history with films such as “Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors” or “The Color of Pomegranates”. From the collaboration and friendship of the photographer with Paradjanov emerged an impressive photographic biography of the director.

Mechitov’s surrealist, dadaist collages made from his own photographs (portraits of Paradjanov) and newspaper clippings, never before shown in Central Europe, creatively and provocatively combine three artistic means of expression (collage, photography, film) into a tribute to the artistic genius of the filmmaker. With this visual hypertextuality, he interprets the essence of Paradjanov’s unique style, his emotionality, and his artistic vision, thus offering a unique insight into his creative universe. Mechitov’s fascination with Paradjanov reflects the poetry and surreal beauty of Paradjanov’s world in the three media of photography, film, and collage.
