ELENA VOLKOVA: AIRSCAPES, NOVEMBER 21 – DECEMBER 20, 2008. Opening reception: Friday, November 21, 5 – 7 p.m. Elena Volkova’s artistic curiosity lies in the existential line between something and nothing and its manifestation in everyday reality. Volkova’s delicate and ephemeral airscapes are photographed from the windows of airplanes and explore the idea of inside versus outside. These barely perceptible images investigate how much visual information is needed to perceive the essence of the subject against the background of nothingness. Volkova’s exhibition is a part of the city-wide celebration of photography, FotoWeek DC. For more details about the show at the Gallery at Flashpoint, please see our press release. [PDF, 56 KB]
