«Next» is a visual statement about a life postponed in anticipation of a future that is not guaranteed.
Time is pulsing, thin smoke — somewhere to the sky, in the fragile ashes will turn yesterday and tomorrow, waiting for drops from long glasses, pulsating in veins, and it seems to be about to come, but no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Life on a drop, like water from a broken crane, jackass, cups, pouring over the edge, live now. Tomorrow’s not gonna be a fact. — Maria Sheremetevsky
The man in this series is only present through absence. We don’t see his faces, the actions he started, but they’re not over. Time continues to flow, everything continues to live: drip, puke, cool, volatilize…
A series of photos are built around quiet, almost invisible events — someone just left, ran out in a hurry, wasn’t late, but wasn’t there, but then… is it going to happen after things left on the move, at some point in time, start living their own lives?
The format — harmonica — works as a visual metaphor for waiting: images can be discovered gradually or immediately, but none of them becomes the final point.
