Alexander Gronsky
Gronsky is the winner of the 2010 Foam Paul Huf Award. This prize
is organised by Foam and awarded each year to a young, promising
international photographer under 35. Part of the prize is a show at
Foam. Gronsky received the prize for his photographs of the
post-Soviet landscape that he took between 2007 and 2010. The
presentation features work from the series Less Than One and The
Edge.
Less Than One and The Edge
Less than One is about regions in Russia's vast hinterland where
the average population density is less than one per square
kilometre. The series looks at the evidence of human habitation in
this oppressive, monotone Russian landscape. For The Edge, Gronsky
looked closer to home. Here he examines the outskirts of Moscow.
And while he explores the city's periphery, Gronsky also tests the
boundaries of photography. All the photos were taken during the
long winter months and are dominated to a large extent by the
whiteness of the snow, giving them an abstract, graphic
appearance.
Foam Editions is proud to be able offer the photographs from his
exhibition.
Prices and availability vary, so we happily invite you to our
