Known as ‘Synchrodogs‘, Ukrainian based photography duo Tanya Shcheglova and Roman Noven capture surreal images for their project ‘Animalism, Naturalism’. Inspired by the feeling of fear inherent in nature, the artists are working far away from the city to search for an alternative environment.
The duo explains the project with the words “we have always been closely related to nature, behaving ourselves in a way that is somehow considered right for animals, not for humans; running and jumping over the hills, biting and leaking each others faces as dogs do.” The series ‘Animalism, Naturalism’ plays with these basic instincts that lie dormant inside every human being, reaching for the raw sense of self and intimate relation to the surrounding environment and nature. The images portray the haunting view on the beauty of making one’s own rules, radiating the emotion of contemporary insurrection.
