with my art photography,
私は何を言いたいのか?
the impact from the art
実測することができるか?と
and calculate it.
to explain to my mother my art
実際の数字を使って
is widely exposing the theme of escapism.
むき出しにしています
現実を変えようと思っています
扱うことはしません
ドキュメンタリー写真は撮影しません
I love things that are authentic
本物が大好きで
決して考えません
to create my images.
イメージを創ります
創られるものではなく
to a better life,
like that for my models?
モデルに選ぶのでしょうか?
how to survive in real life.
学ばねばならない時期があったからです
at the same time as a waitress.
同時に2箇所で働いていました
that I am taking a role in a film,
映画の役を演じていて
映画のウェイトレスは
and brows to gingerette,
演じているだけだと思い込みました
モチベーションとなり
lives for my models
様々な人生を創造しています
of being someone else in reality.
他の誰かになる経験をさせるのです
become like silent movie actors.
俳優のようになります
in being someone else entirely.
a new reality in its entirety,
every single thing in my work,
全アイテムを自作します
manipulations to my photographs,
デジタル補正はしません
to take place in reality,
pretty much everything.
ほぼなんでも作れてしまいます
in authenticity of making,
私は美を見出すのです
モチベーションもありません
travel photographs.
of being someone else a reality.
実現する能力です
of being seen as a warrior,
夢に見ていました
because of her health problems.
スポーツができなかったのです
working on together
一緒に取り組んだ
she dreamed of becoming
戦士の姿の写真が
in Milan by Vogue Magazine.
雑誌『ヴォーグ』主催です
何かを乗り越えることでした
saw her image from the land of escapism
現実逃避の大地にいる自分の写真を見て
as a brave and fearless warrior.
戦士だと信じてくれるということを
to play a game
人々を招いて ゲームをしてもらいます
本当にハッピーにしてくれます
私は思います
of being important and powerful
力があると実感することができて
及ぼすことができるのです
my own personal experience.
このことを知っています
that we can gauge,
私たちの限界を取り払います
いわば魔法のかかった人生であり
and inspires us to dwell
思いにふけることを励まし

Why you should listen
Uldus Bakhtiozina is an artist and filmmaker who lives and works in Russia. Born in Leningrad, now St. Petersburg, into a Muslim-Christian family, Bakhtiozina studied and worked in London in graphic design and photography before settling on her unique style which mixes folklore, history, fashion and challenging stereotypes. Calling her style "Tatar Baroque," in part because she is half Tatar, Bakhtiozina has a passion for irregularity, and she says that her work documents dreams. Bakhtiozina creates everything inside her analogue photography and films, from outfits to stages, to fulfill the story behind each of her creations. None of her works have been digitally manipulated.
