“Moscow’s youth – they are “optimistic, free and self confident”, as statisticians describe them. They grew up with the Perestroika, the economic and political uncertainties of the 90s, and were slowly exposed to Western influence. This generation, which is far too young to understand their past and far too old to not know it, is highly apolitical. They believe in Putin and the Church but not in the government. Most of them desire fashion, culture, art and music. They love foreign countries, going out and are highly motivated in their careers. They seem to revolt against old ideas, against an old world”

Este trabalho de Andy Freeberg fez-me lembrar o Museum Watching de Elliott Erwitt. Embora aparentem algumas semelhanças, ao fim e ao cabo são pessoas enquadradas com obras de arte, em espaços construidos para o efeito, etc, nesta série a tónica parece estar centrada especificamente no “guarda” da arte. Uma grande chatice, a de guardar a arte, entenda-se.
