ARTIST STATMENT

ANTON USANOV

Creation as a form of art. My goal is to go beyond the usual, permissible, ordinary forms. I am inspired by avant-garde art, new forms and creative solutions.

It is also very important for me to create each photo with an idea or a story.

When I create my work, I use different options for coming up with ideas. I always discuss them with my creative friends and sometimes random people. I am looking for a special idea that I will definitely want to implement.

Often I notice a special magic on the set, when the result is even better than I could have imagined. I called this phenomenon "the art of life" and its divine intervention in the chaotic process of life, which we try to structure and turn into art. Thus, as artists, we become co-authors of life.

I love single long takes because I like to feel the natural dynamics of life in the frame, it makes me work better with the plot, actors, and look for expressive moments.

I don't like to show anything directly, so I look for an interesting point of view, something that can be emphasized in the frame.

It's interesting to experiment, sometimes I deliberately leave unfinished moments in the script so that there is improvisation during the shooting because the scene itself often tells you what to do - magic in my works is a very valuable element in creativity
