When water becomes light, memory stops flowing — it hovers.

No water flows —
only the shadow of motion,
time without a shore.

“Ghost of Bohemian Waters upon the Walls of a Subterranean Passage” (Tasma FN 100) A river needs not be liquid if it chooses to reside inside a subway passage. It may freeze into a flowing drape and hover above the checkered walls, dissolving into the dense, grainy fog of expired silver. Commuters hurry to catch their trains, unaware of Prague's subterranean fairway flowing right above their heads. The film's fog washes away the boundaries between concrete, metal, and current, leaving only the quiet echo of distant water sprays lost deep within Chertanovo. In the metro passage, the river turns into a woman, and the woman into motion frozen in bronze. The old film, weary of contrast, softens everything — water, air, memory. It feels as if Vltava herself became a cloud to avoid seeing her own forgotten name. "A river frozen in metal and silver fog flows not through a riverbed, but through the memory of those who pass beneath." — Philosophy of Subterranean Currents Technical Credits: Camera: Olympus mju II Zoom 115 Film: Tasma FN 100 [USSR B&W film, 07.1995] Developer: Kodak D‑76 (lab: sreda.photo) Scan: Pakon F235+ Date: 20 August 2017 Location: Passage near metro Prazhskaya, Moscow Subject: Sculpture personifying the Czech river Vltava Series: Variations on a theme «…with a film across Moscow» Film condition: Expired, storage unknown — veil and low contrast preserved as aesthetic layer

“Motion Shot Point-Blank: The Bear's Nicotine Intermission” (Tasma FN 100)

#filmphotography #TasmaFN100 #ExpiredFilm #USSRfilm #BwFilm #LomoPunkb #blackandwhite #monochrome
On Old Arbat, a man removes the head of a plush animal — and for a moment, the person inside the role becomes visible. The blurred frame turns motion into a state: the mask rests, and the city sees itself through a human face. ⚙️ Technical Credits: Date: April 17, 2019 Location: Moscow, Arbat Street Camera: Pentax Spotmatic SP II (№5247478) Lens: MC Macro-Revuenon 28 mm ƒ3.5 Film: Tasma FN 100 [USSR B&W film, 07.2005] (Expired, EI 100) Development: D‑76 Lab: sreda.photo lab Scan: Noritsu HS‑1800 Philosophy: Sometimes a person becomes visible only when the mask is tired. The old Arbat suddenly decided to flow like poorly brewed tea. Everything spun: the streetlamps, the cobblestones, the passersby, all turning into a single gray vortex. The stringer raised his camera on the run, not even taking a moment to glance through the viewfinder, and pressed the shutter. And in this vortex, in its very epicenter, one solitary, motionless moment suddenly froze. Someone in a bear’s skin, tired of endlessly framing the world through foam-rubber eyes, simply took off his large plush head and placed it on a wooden bench, next to a sign reading "FOR RENT," which was also drifting somewhere in the distance. The world saw a human face—weary, with features of a resident of the vast steppes of Central Asia. The man composedly pulled out a pack of cigarettes, flicked a lighter, and exhaled blue smoke, which instantly mingled with the Lomo-Punk vortex. It turned out that even the mythical Arbat animals have the most ordinary, human harmful habits. They too grow tired, want to smoke, and remove their beastly masks just to breathe. And the expired Soviet emulsion, as if knowing the truth, captured this moment in coarse brushstrokes of silver grain.

“Reality Disposal Workshop” (Tasma FN 100)

«Street photography is always a bit of a guerrilla war for reality. When people in hard hats try to hide their faces from the lens, they intuitively defend their right to remain the invisible force that maintains order. But the expired Soviet emulsion knows no mercy: it catches their grumbling and turns a fleeting flash of street discontent into an eternal monument of lomo-punk». Two operators of chaos meet their quota for collecting traces of existence. The bag is a portal where the city stores its mistakes. Every grumbling gesture is an alarm signal in the metropolis system running on autopilot. Arbat hums like a factory processing people into memories. ⚙️ Technical Credits Camera: Pentax Spotmatic SP II (№5247478) Lens: MC Macro-Revuenon 28 mm ƒ3.5 Film: Tasma FN 100 [USSR B&W film, 07.2005] (Expired, EI 100) Development: D‑76 Scanner: Noritsu HS-1800 Film Scanner DLocation: Moscow, Arbat Street Philosophy: Realism is when metaphysics wears a helmet. Two people in identical hard hats held a plastic bag, inside of which the yesterday of Moscow city resided. Suddenly, an underhanded stringer ran out from around the corner, pressed a button on a film apparatus with his finger, and stole their reflection along with a chunk of sidewalk tile. "Listen, my good sirs," one person in a hard hat burst out, pursing her lips toward the lens, "why are we constantly being fixed upon expired bases without our verbal approval? We are, by the way, cleaning the planet of excess atoms here, while you with your glass pieces are increasing entropy!" The second person said nothing; he simply gripped the bag tighter so that the morning sun wouldn't accidentally tumble out of it. And behind them, upon the facade, the foreign letters "New Balance" pretended they knew how to read Russian, while the active grain of the Tasma turned this street scandal into a document of strict accountability. «Street photography is always a bit of a guerrilla war for reality.
