The Swan Princess (2021) 사진 Янина Ермакова 로

The project was inspired by M. Vrubel's painting "The Swan Princess".
The premiere of the musical drama "The Tale of Tsar Saltan", which inspired Vrubel, took place at the Private Opera of S. I. Mamontov on December 21, 1900. Vrubel created sketches for scenery and costumes, and the part of the Swan Princess was sung by his wife Nadezhda Zabela-Vrubel.
The heroine of Vrubel is different from similar ones. The standard character is more bright, joyful, gets married. Vrubel's heroine is dark, mystical, detached. The atmosphere of twilight. In the painting, the artist combines light and darkness, air and water, cold and heat.
In the story, we see a Swan Princess retreating. Perhaps she is ready to turn into a bird. Perhaps it comes from a date with a lover. Twilight, sunset. The action takes place on the shore of a reservoir. The princess turns to the viewer.
In the work, the conflict is rather internal within the heroine. The princess does not look like a classic image, she has some kind of demonic nature, she breathes anxiety and mysticism.
Our task was rather to affect the viewer's feelings, to touch him with the atmosphere. The photo causes a feeling of anxiety, trouble, but at the same time it is very attractive to yourself. I want to think about the other world, what and how there is and how we get along with these creatures.
For the project, we used a designer suit from Elena Ship.
The project was published in the following magazines: Top Posters September 2021, Arts&Fashion Magazine September 2021, Mob Journal August 2021.
