On December 2, on the Municipal Gallery’s 17th anniversary, we invite everyone to the opening of a solo exhibition by Hamlet Zinkivskyi, a friend and regular artist of the gallery.

The exhibition “Entering Photography” is a project that fits into, lives in, and emerges from a suitcase — a suitcase that holds memories, places, streets, and people.
These are photographs not by a professional photographer, but by an artist who turned to photography as a means of instantly capturing the world around him. Perspective and the traditional rules observed by photographers are no longer important; the photograph itself, as an object, becomes filled with meaning.
“Entering Photography” is not only for the viewer, who will see the world on film through the artist’s eyes, but also for the artist himself.

And actually, Hamlet Zinkivskyi wants to be a little bird…
