    Bronze in Special / Night Photography

Night is a special time. At night, encounters with people and objects are perceived as unique, as if the daytime noise has been lifted from the world, and only special events pass through the nocturnal filter. I aim to showcase moments that imply a narrative: the hidden beginnings and endings of untold stories. By day, they might be mundane scenes, but at night, they take on new meaning, unsettling the vestiges of our psyche, which, much like in the Stone Age, scans the night for a tiger rather than an antelope.

Anatoly Suzdaltsev is a visual artist and photographer. Born in 1980 in South Ural, present time based in Almaty, Kazakhstan. He is a student at the Academy of documentary and art photography "Fotografika". Anatoly creates enigmatic worlds by blending documentary and art photography, weaving together objective reality with imaginative narratives and characters. He photographs on 35mm film and digital camera while simultaneously experimenting with video generation, merging classical and contemporary techniques, basic reality and otherworldly vision.
