We are all low-key used to looking from an ego-centric perspective as we live our lives. It is as if the world only lives when we are at that point, and it freezes unchanged after that. Since we are used to living as the only character who can change their world, just like video games, we have to admit that the places we don’t see are in motion independent from us. Life moves in its own routine in places we don’t see. Trees are growing slowly, and leaves turn to the Sun; birds find safe places to hide and test our sense of life control every day. New York-based still-life photographer Sergiy Barchuk tells about a time, change, and experience in soundlessness in his photographs.
Sergiy Barchuk found his silence
Sergiy Barchuk was born in Ukraine and is now based in New York, USA. He sparked his curiosity about photography after graduating in sociology. His still-life photographs focus on minimalistic and colorful contrasts. Negative space and emptiness fill the holes in our thought train while observing his work. Little bites from vegetables or shadows on human skin complete Sergiy Barchuk’s composition.
He describes his work to Booooooom as “the transcendent moments that happen in the mundane.” He continues to complete his frame when he talked with TANK Magazine; “I find silence immensely refreshing and crucial for my psychological and emotional health,” he explains, “especially in the context of technological overstimulation.”
Sergiy Barchuk previously worked with Alla Carta, Calvin Klein, M Le Monde, Nike, Primary Paper, The New Yorker, Vogue US, WSJ, and he continues to create well-crafted, highly invested compositions to create humble and neat still-life photographs.
Inspiration Farmer is a collection of artists and designers we discovered recently. We are inspired by their work and decided to make a weekly collection.
