Katarina Tamova / Little Town

Little Town is an ongoing photographic project that I created in my mind a few years ago. Some kind of a diary that is based on feelings and experiences with my family, relatives, friends, and the general atmosphere of a small town where I practically grew up and where my ancestors originate from. My project is a personal document which plays with dreamlike visions, bizarre scenes, and sometimes humorous situations. It shows a world that is built on real facts, characters and locations, but is turned into a movie scene. Memories of moments and the tension of an expected future are graded, sequenced, recorded as drawing up the outline script for a film. Each story operates independently and has it’s own poetics and emotion. They display a small town with a rural character and its people, which has always been for me kind of a gateway and a portal through which you can return to the past.
