Dmitry Shneerson. Not Without Heaven

The exhibition features works by Dmitry Shneerson (b. 1950), well-known photographer and director of the Museum of the History of Photography Museum in St. Petersburg.

This time, however, his exhibition does not display his photographs. Instead, it unexpectedly presents his decorative ceramics – vases, plates and compositions shaped as mysterious zoomorphic creatures with focus on Korean, Japanese and Latin American traditions.

Shneerson’s ceramic works have been inspired by his experience in folk pottery he studied during his ethnographic research travels to Ethiopia, Peru and Myanmar.
