The exhibition features 54 works, format 40x60 cm, printed on canvas, by sublimation.

Previously, the exhibition was exhibited at the Elephant Academic Drama Theater (Saratov, March 2014).

Photographers of the project Olga Kochedykova and Tanya Mintan, with the participation of stylist Marina Savko.

The exhibition presents photographic works of two Saratov photographers, through all of whose work the theme of childhood passes. In their works, Olga and Tanya reveal their understanding of the traditions of children’s portraits as a genre.

The photographs of the exposition are varied in the mood and imaginative characteristics of the children, but at the same time together they tell the same story. The children seem to play in one of the old fairy tales about the wizarding world and wandering artists. A peculiar theatrical performance unfolds before the audience, which begins with the opening of the curtain and ends with the sunset.
