Over the past few decades, media has been defined by new technologies, but photography continues to be relevant as a cultural object. Nevertheless, the concept of what a photograph is or what can it be is changing, as are the photographers themselves. This generation is celebrating the power of an individual personality and modern photographers are sharing art with no shame to express inimitable reality. Alina and “Gorsad” are celebrating it too. “Gorsad” is made up of two guys and a girl (Victor, Julian and Maria). They represent a unique wave of photography by mixing portraits with some kind of fixations: “We are in love with these people who are not eager to please. Sometimes even shyest and constrained ones are unpredictable in their behavior during the shooting process.” Photographer Alina found her direction in underground culture. She shoots people who enjoy music and those who are the actual evidence of freedom. Interview: Natalija Lokcikaitė, Rugilė Bareišaitė Photos: @alina_pasiukk, @grsdkyiv MASS0012
