Igor started to shoot this project in a small village on the North of Russia. It has to be said that in Russia almost every family owns a land alongside their city apartment. On that land they have a vegetable garden to cultivate vegetables, flowers, and fruits. This tradition appeared during the Soviet times and it goes on since then, as it is believed that vegetables cultivated by your own effort are more ecological. Such a land is called dacha and usually life is a full swing there only in summer. Igor's family garden is in a village that was abandoned due to lack of workplaces in the countryside. The houses were sold, and one of them became their dacha. Igor found a bunch of old photos on the attic of the people that had lived in that house. The photos were taken in the 60s. It was interesting to look through them and to guess the lives of the portrayed guys and girls. Igor felt like he wanted to give those photos a new life, to continue the story of the village. It was time to reap a harvest, and the process of working on the land hit him upon an idea of going back to the roots, to the history of that place. The idea of earth nourishing plants, as well as the past nourishing the future, was as natural as connecting his self-portraits with the old shots. That is how he wanted to become closer to that place and to continue its chronicles. Igor gave his self-portraits different feelings, from mystical to funny, which filled his life in the countryside. Covering the face with masks from the nature’s materials, he wanted to be lost in the environment to feel better the place.
