Life of a Factory
vers 1992
Pavlov uses collage to bear witness to the working-class world at the intersection of collective and private life.
From the time it began in the late 1960s, the Kharkiv school broke with the official Soviet aesthetic through its attention on the margins of society, particularly the working-class milieu. Evgeniy Pavlov used formal experimentation at the turn of the 1990s to represent this reality. The photomontages that make up this series are in line with this tradition; the artist collected photographs taken by his brother, formerly a factory photographer, and organized them to produce a mysterious narrative that is reminiscent of how workers' newspapers were laid out.
