Nazar Furyk
Province
This series is about the everyday life of young people in the province, about a way of everyday life where life drugs and alcohol are present, about the days that go unnoticed and they aren’t really any different, whether it is a weekday or a regular working day. I’ve started taking pictures quite a long time ago. And I can’t say why and how, I do not know, just at some point, I realized that the moments, which at first glance are quite ordinary for someone, are really important and unusual for me. Such a usual life, one just needs to cover, because it can be interesting for others. I do not know if the viewer needs to see these photos. Sometimes it seems to me that no – they’re too personal because I’m not a third-party viewer, because I’m also part of this everyday life.

I see many fundamentally excellent pictures that say a great deal about your young friends and the alienation they feel. Perhaps, as a young person yourself, you feel it adds to the effect to not bother cleaning up the dust spots and scratches. Perhaps you are right and I am just a little too old to appreciate it. To me, it just looks lazy. To me, it diminishes the impact of otherwise excellent photos.
