Germany. Sacred Geometry
I'd like this post to be in English, because I want my English-speaking friends to understand the text.
This series "Sacred Geometry" is the result of our two weeks trip to Germany. This trip was dedicated to Art: we visited lots of modern and contemporary art museums on the root Munich - Baden-Baden - Frankfurt - Cologne - Dusseldorf. But the main reason of visiting Germany were people: in my February trip to Berlin I was so impressed by the German, that I was eager to communicate with them again, trying to understand them (and their mentality) better...
My expectations from Germany were quite other. For example, I thought that there are a lot of medieval architecture in the cities. But... wherever we went, every city was destroyed for 80-95 percent during the Second World War! Poor country... So, now it looks mostly newly-built, with some eclectics... My main impression was that Germany is a country FOR PEOPLE, where everything is done right and good. And... too purified. Too ideal!!! There are also no problems to solve there! (Of course if you have a credit card in your pocket ;)) Almost everything is predefined there. It's cool! But, in some cases, a little bit boring ;) In our precious Russia there is no stability and lots of problems, but there is some drive in it and possibilities of choice, praise it! Everything is learnt through comparison...
I think all that was the reason why I could photo only Geometry there. Besides, it is my favourite theme since I started photographing. So I decided to return to the beginning, in some sense.
I don't know, if I create any other series on Germany. I feel this series expresses my emotions and impressions quite fully.

PS. I felt much in common between Germany and Japan. You can't see it at once, it becomes clear after a certain period of time. In details. In feelings. In atmospere. But - not in meals :))
