ESTHER GARRISON - Dog in Temirtau. Steelworks
Artist Biography:
I define myself as a photographer with an interest in different photographic registers, but in all my works I capture the loneliness, the hardness and sadness of the human condition, with the avid desire to present it with a beautiful and careful aesthetic. The title of the project "Where? In Karaganda" refers to an old phrase from Soviet times alluding to something being in the middle of nowhere or "in the middle of nowhere". Karaganda played a crucial role in the industrialization and modernization of the Soviet Union as a coal producer and today has regained importance after the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Underlying each of the images is a message of thought-provoking unease - grotesque apocalyptic landscapes or disturbing beauty? Or perhaps both? Without proposing value judgments or political analysis, it questions the aesthetics of abandonment, of oblivion, interrogating the rough and rugged surfaces of its landscapes, its industrial architecture and the remoteness of its inhabitants. The journey starts in Karaganda, the capital of the province of the same name, and reaches the Shubarkol-Komir coal mine, passing through Temirtau, considered one of the most polluted cities on the planet.
