The patterns of the sections of walls in colors both bold and damaged, pure and sick, are a true meditation on space in addition to being a meditation on the implicit and forgotten beauty of the city.

By insisting on the lines which divide his images into two distinct spaces, what Konstantin Kornakov gives us to see through and beyond these sections of walls is the truest question that the landscape addresses to us, the one which concerns the dividing line between heaven and earth. What we see are zones of friction created by men but which express this eternal questioning about their existential situation.

Looking at Konstantin Kornakov’s images, we face a sky that a line separates from the ground. We are looking at something that is both at our feet and beyond us. By making this distance accessible, these images accomplish a real operation that is both magical and artistic, sensitive and existential. They begin to speak the language of beauty.
