The exposition at DiDi Gallery is dedicated to the study of the physical body as a geometric shape through photo optics. Leonid Borisov goes beyond the usual materials and uses household items and perishable fruits in his works. Its main purpose is to vary different categories of objects in a single visual composition and photograph them. First of all, in this series of works, the artist is interested in the natural forms that surround us, which can be not only utilitarian, but also decorative.

Polina Borisova, daughter of the artist, curator of the exhibition comments: “While working with my father's archive, I came across a text written in 2005 by Irina Karasik, a leading researcher in the department of newest trends at the State Russian Museum. In particular, there were the following lines: “The competitiveness of Borisov as a photographer was, oddly enough, ensured by the fact that he remained faithful to the former artistic system. The photographs he took - both thematically and methodologically - were quite close to the artist's paintings and reliefs. he mostly shoots not real nature, but specially created compositions. Thanks to the new technique, Borisov got a lot of freedom of action. "
This brilliant statement by Irina Karasik became the starting point of the project of the exhibition of photographs by Leonid Borisov "Vegetables, Fruits and Other items". Most of the photographs included in the exhibition will be presented to the public for the first time. "
