Fleeing censorship, Sergei Stroitelev unfolds a haunting portrayal of personal turmoil amidst societal upheaval. Stripped of freedom of speech,\u00a0Sergei Stroitelev grapples with guilt and shame while navigating a landscape marred by repression and fear.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The project captures the visceral impact of conflict on the individual psyche through a multi-layered visual narrative, including diary entries, nightmarish red visuals symbolizing trauma, and chilling news screenshots. Set against the backdrop of a blue forest &#8211; a metaphor for self-discovery amid chaos &#8211; the Sergei&#8217;s journey becomes a poignant reflection of resilience and the quest for identity amidst adversity.<br><br>The book is available for purchase at <a href=\"https:\/\/en.experimentalphotofestival.com\/fotolibro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Experiment&#8217;s webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Images of some of the spreads from Sergei Stroitelev&#8217;s I Wish it Was Just a Nightmare photographed by Maria Solaguren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/photo.dmjx.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sergei_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6472\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/photo.dmjx.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sergei_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6473\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/photo.dmjx.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sergei_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6474\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/photo.dmjx.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sergei_04.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6475\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/photo.dmjx.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sergei_05.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6476\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/photo.dmjx.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sergei_06.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6477\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/photo.dmjx.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sergei_07.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6478\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/photo.dmjx.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sergei_08.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6479\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/photo.dmjx.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sergei_09.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" src=\"https:\/\/photo.dmjx.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sergei_10.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6481\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sergei Stroitelev&#8216;s personal book-project I Wish it Was Just a Nightmare made at DMJX in the fall 2022 has been published by Experimental.
