Welcome to The Antiquated Modern!
It could be me.
Yuri’s work tends to be conceptual. Photography is often central to his practice, but in addition to being a primary medium, photography is itself often part of the subject.
Beyond standalone images, and with a background as a librarian, figuring heavily in the work are books, series, sequences, typologies, games and systems. He is focused on themes related to the perception of time, memory, motion and color and how photography allows us to navigate them in novel ways.
Yuri’s current long-term project is called lun.r, a catalog of digital visualizations of the moon. Astrophotography’s combination of data collection and software rendering is overlayed with aesthetic observations to trace out limits and boundaries of the medium via cycles that point to different ways of seeing the same subject.
