After looking the photographs of Eva Milkonskaya everything around us becomes superfluous.
What are emotions like? How much do they weigh? And what shape do they have?
This Eva seems to ask herself when she works.
Her shots manage to give shape to emotions: they are extremely minimal, complex and deep images.
The photographs of Eva Milkonskaya succeed in communicating the profound complexity of human soul: they are images out of reality, snapshots without place, still in time.
In her shots the human body is the protagonist. Stripped of all tinsel, it becomes a serious and authentic subject, a contemporary divinity. These statues seem spontaneously merged with the nature that surrounds them, even if icy and hostile.
Rich of a great work of post-production, Eva’s shots are genuine and sophisticated. Her conceptual photography is extraordinary and requires careful analysis and interpretation.
