An amazing set of photos starting 2003 to 2005 by Leonid Tishkov & Boris Bendikov.
“Writer Chesterton once said that there couldn’t be a personal faith as there couldn’t be a personal sun or a personal moon. In Russia everything is the other way round: we are faced with life one to one, and we are completely lonely in the face of the problem of time, that is, the problem of life and death, the problem of losses and gains, the moon, the sun, and everything in this life. We could, conceivably, turn to someone for support. But we are still lonely… However, that shouldn’t make us grieve or suffer. Loneliness of this sort means that we exist, we are here, we are at the enter of the universe and we are comparable to the Moon, to the other celestial bodies. “Private Moon” is a visual poem telling the story of a man who met the Moon and stayed with her for the rest of his life.”
