[gans]

In the house on the corner Chelyuskintsiv and Michurin, known as the "Art Centre", the first time after several months had been uninhabited incredibly lively. Photographers from all over the city, journalists and spectators froze a set of images, in which scarcely recognized veiled in a haze of embankment, arches "devyatietazhek" rusty "ferris wheel" Zagorodny park. This Samara saw five photographers, who by the will of the leaders of the project "Disorientation" drifted into the city for three days of April. Maya Holm from Finland, Wu Hao of China, Ikuru Kuvadzhima from Japan, Alexander Auerbach from Russia and Tanasis Zaharopulos from Greece were assigned to 20 images of the city, they absolutely do not know.

Previously all the participants are isolated, deprived of possibility to know anything about the destination, and to make it sound more confusion and gave the world map capitals like Rio de Janeiro or New York, to convince them that this - maps of Samara. But foreigners, is to give them their due, did not panic and the end of "expedition" even started in his. The first three days, from 15 to 17 April, they, according to the organizers, did not even know about each other, met only at the very end of this creative experiment. During this time, with each of them took place about his adventures, which filmed the following for their organizers.

The youngest participant, 23-year-old Vao, which "send" on the embankment, despite the fact that he did not know in Russian word, met with the local kids, and even played with children in football. His photographs appeared Samara city of his childhood in the Volga. The sole representative of Russia, Alexander made friends with a representative of "beau monde" with "Leningradka, which tries to prove the artist's own photogenic, gave her a strong kiss.

The most restless throughout the company was a Japanese Ikuru. He came to Bezymyanka where photographed meeting guest workers, and on the other bank of the Volga. There he captures nudists swimming. Unfortunately, the creative itch does not have Kuvadzhimu, and at the opening of the exhibition, the Japanese traveler was far outside Samara. But Finn Maya opened the uniqueness of urban architecture in the streets of Tashkent. "Nine-storied building with arches, which, according to her, she had never seen, were for the opening of the hills. But perhaps, in terms of artistic value, the most interesting for its photographs depicting the spring of the urban landscape at sunset.

"We conceived this project as a knowledge unknown to us Samara - confessed" VC "project leader Alexander Berkovsky. - Main idea - to show how this city appears before foreign guests and what looks like Samara in the eyes of people unprepared. For example, I am from St. Petersburg and I know a lot about his city, with Samara, in my mind involves a lot of stereotypes. "
