EGOR GUSCHIN
BIO
Egor Guschin was born in 1988 in Ukraine, Kharkiv and graduated from Kharkiv University of Civil Engineering and Architecture with a degree in Organizational Management. After working for some time in his field, he moved to the catering industry, where he worked as a barista in various coffee shops for many years before discovering his true passion – photography. Egor’s works have been published in such publications as Plivkapeoplemag, Vogue Ukraine, and exhibited in galleries in Lviv, Kharkiv, Kyiv, as well as abroad, in particular, at the Saatchi Gallery in London. He is currently a member of the MYPH school of conceptual and artistic photography.
He specializes in analog photography, where experiments with double and multiple exposures have brought him recognition in the professional community. His vision of the world is always multi-layered: through the superimposition of frames, he expresses the complexity of being and the interaction of sensations. However, his practice today goes far beyond pure photography - he boldly transforms form and image itself, seeks new media and gravitates towards working at the intersection of different artistic styles.
In his work, he explores themes of memory, dreams and illusion. Combining these themes with in-camera layering, collage and hand-editing, he reconstructs fragmented memories into new visual realities - those hidden from the ordinary eye, revealing the other side of our world that usually remains invisible.
ARTIST STATEMENT
In my work, I explore the boundaries between the already open and new interpretations, rethinking familiar images and experimenting at the intersection of photography, art and science. I work with analog photography, using double and multiple exposure techniques, as well as montage to create multi-layered, metaphorical images.
These methods allow me to show another side of reality - the one that is usually hidden from view. I am interested in the unobvious, the repressed, the forgotten. In my works, I work with themes of memory, dreams, illusions - those states in which the line between the imaginary and the real is almost erased.
I am inspired by surrealism, the mystical atmosphere of Haruki Murakami's books and cinematography. My photographs are like dreams, where previously seen images are superimposed on each other. It is as if I am re-collecting memories, transforming them into a new visual reality.
I am convinced that art has no boundaries - everything can become art if you find the right way of presenting it and fill it with meaning. My projects are designed not only to inspire, but also to expose both internal and external problems, to make you think about the invisible but important aspects of existence. Through visual experiments, I strive to prove that the new is always born from the old, that even familiar things can open up in a new way if you look at them from a different angle.
