Sergey Melnitchenko, 2017
Featured In FLOWERGANGFrom "Young and free" series, 2017-2021
The most recent part captures the sense of energy and freedom of young men. ‘Young and Free’, the name itself sets the mood of liberation. It’s fun, everyone involved is running on adrenaline. Many guys, having seen my work, have asked to participate. I hope that, thanks to this project, there will be less fear and shame about the male body; fewer sanctimonious stereotypes in our city. Young people want to be free, to stand tall, to go beyond their limitations.
