About The Artwork

Setting: A blend of real and unreal spaces - it's the attic of a rented house, a tiny home studio of a photographer, a room in a fictional house where the characters live, and a fairytale space where dolls come to life. Characters: Mother and daughter. The mother is the same woman but in different forms. The daughter flickers: sometimes a child, sometimes a girl, sometimes a doll. The action takes place in a surreal world where there is no permanence, where everything transforms, and anything can be everything. Each photograph in the project is an illustration to the fairy tale, yet this tale has not been written yet. Each viewer writes it in their own mind. Each photo poses riddles, provokes thoughts, raises questions, but does not provide answers. Each image contains numerous details, layers, plot twists. Involuntarily, the viewer starts unraveling plot options in their mind, inventing a story. What does the author want to convey? Here the author whispers a personal message to you secretly. Everyone has their own interpretation. This project is a dialogue with the viewer, inviting to co-create. I am the author only of the visual part of the project; the narrative can be written by every viewer. My goal is to stimulate creativity, to make viewers search for meanings, engage in a dialogue with me. To argue, agree, complement, and change my stories. To create fairy tales together with me.

Mari Saxon, fine art photographer, architect. Mari was born in Moscow. In 2022, she moved to the Massachusetts, USA. By education and profession, she has been an architect for over 25 years. Awards: 2024 • Belfast Photo Festival 2024 (Shortlisted, project) • Fine Art Photography Awards FAPA (Nominee in Portrait category, single image) • Fine Art Photography Awards FAPA (Nominee in Conceptual Category, project) 2023 • Russian Photo Awards (Top 100, single image) • All-Russian Festival of Black and White Photography Fotostrelka (Nominee, single image) 2019 • Grant for learning course of Sergey Maximishin “Photographer as a Storyteller” Mari always adores noticing the absurdity and surrealism in everyday life, as if reality lifts the edge of its curtain for her, and through this gap, she sees the backstage of the scenery. Equally, she always observes the unnoticed unusual facets in people around her. The individuality of each person fascinates her, and when she notices something special, she can't wait to capture it. Gradually, Mari started creating an absurd reality in her photographs: her attic turns into a fairy-tale world, her models stand on their heads in high-heeled boots, and she herself turns into a multifaced mythical figure in self-portraits. Mari's works are surreal, symbolic, fabulous, often absurd. They don’t impose their own narrative; there is no obvious plot. Everyone can see their own story in them. The most stirring goal for Saxon is to engage the viewer in a dialogue through her art.
