DiDi Gallery presented a solo booth of one of the most prominent St. Petersburg photographers of the turn of the XX – XXI centuries — Alexander Chernogrivov. The exhibition featured works from the iconic series "Cavalry" and "Soldiers", created using the techniques of photogram and chemigram. Alexander has been working on them since the early 2000s to the present day.

In Alesander's works, the mechanical randomness of analog photography is intertwined with the conceptual one. Photographic techniques are used not for the sake of experiment as such, but to create a more expressive and vivid artistic image. The objects of attention in the "Cavalry" and "Soldiers" series are children's toys, as the most striking artifacts of the gameplay, where there is an element of spontaneity, temporality and naivety.
