About the Item
Somewhere to Swim project by Anna Dobrovolskaya-Mints
The 19th-century Uncanny was embodied by the Haunted House, but today, the SARS-CoV-2 virus has become the representative of the uncanny in our time.
Sigmund Freud described the uncanny as a source of dread and creeping horror, arising from the transformation of something once familiar.
Photographer Anna Dobrovolskaya-Mints explores this phenomenon in her thought-provoking series, 'Somewhere to Swim,' capturing empty public spaces that evoke a sense of forgotten lives. Growing up in Post-Soviet Russia, Dobrovolskaya-Mints discovered the uncanny in abandoned buildings, which left a lasting impression on her.
During the lockdown, she embarked on a journey across England, seeking hope but finding perspective in the void. Her photographs of empty hotel swimming pools, usually associated with pleasure and relaxation, now exude a dystopian stillness.
Dobrovolskaya-Mints' critical vision exposes the truth that beauty requires a perceiver. The pandemic compelled people to reflect on the painful reality of need, transcending economic backgrounds. The pools symbolize the profound truth that we prefer violence over a world devoid of economic capital.
'Somewhere to Swim' marks Dobrovolskaya-Mints' first project in an urban setting, highlighting the absence of human presence and prompting us to confront a world without us. The pandemic reminds us that our accumulated wealth is meaningless without people.
As humans, we are bound by limited energy and a relentless desire for movement, yet the stillness of an empty pool surface serves as a stark reminder of the profound changes we face.
Dobrovolskaya-Mints' work challenges the illusion of rose-colored glasses imposed by infrastructure and productivity, refocusing our gaze on the uncanny haze that reveals a new world—a world where we must acknowledge the inevitable decay of our planet.
