Photography: The brilliant mind and strange photographs of Vitaliy Kliushkin

Date
1 May 2014

There is precious little information about Vitaliy Kliushkin on his website. We know he’s an artist and a designer and that he’s based in Kiev in Ukraine. The only other fact in his “About” section is that he was “Born in the future.” But never mind the misdirection really because we’re more than happy to let Vitaliy’s work speak for itself. His graphic experiments are interesting but it’s his photos that got under my skin; weird narrative suggestions and captured happenstance that confuse, beguile and challenge the viewer in equal measure. And if that plait coming out of the woman’s mouth doesn’t haunt your dreams then you’re made of stronger stuff than me.
