Alexander Chernavsky & Alexander Vlasov - Alpha photobook, Dostoevsky Publishing, 2015, Amsterdam

Softcover, edition of 200 handnumbered copies.

In 2014, Alexander Chernavsky began to collect material for a future book "Alpha". A few months have been devoted to the finding and selecting the proper corresponding text fragments in the network Twitter, where a variety of women around the world broadcast their own imagination and their own real-life experience of sensuality and sexuality. Among the heroines were porn stars, and women living in India, Iran ... In the beginning of the fifteenth year, along with photographer Alexander Vlasov, he began working on shooting the project. An attempt to formulate a naked statement on the subject of the current state of feminism ended in the creation of photo book in the beginning of autumn 2015. This book starts a new series of books through the competition Dostoevskiy Talent, devoted to the promotion of authors from the former Soviet Union through the International community. The book itself, using the well-known principle of typology, positioning itself as a conceptual object-subject artistic statement that uses such an element of the language of contemporary art as deconstruction and desires viewers reflection upon the context of time and the state of the described phenomenon.
