Tsar Fedorsky
The Light under the Door
2015

     Tsar Fedorsky takes this series of photographs at a house later in the year. Tsar shoots all of the images in this series in black and white, whether that is because she is shooting in black and white film or because she decided the digital files looked best like this, I am not sure. Fedorsky also has an interesting way of framing the images she is shooting. Rather than giving the viewer all the information available, she decides that she we take that privilege away from us. I feel like this is important because it keeps our interest in otherwise uninteresting photographs.
     Tsar Fedorsky is taking this series of photos with the women who lives in the house in mind. Fedorsky believes that there is more to life than your hometown or in this case your own home. However Fedorsky does feel that she is most comfortable at her house. Tsar decided to show exploration of the world in these photographs without ever leaving the house. She does this because of  the way each image is framed and the lack of information. This gives us the ability to decide what makes up the rest of the image or the reality that this person could be living in.
    I really enjoy this series of photographs by Tsar Fedorsky. I find it interesting how she keeps my interest even with the simplicity of the image. I also enjoy the choice of putting her images in black and white rather than color if she has the ability to. I think this choice gives us the opportunity to even further our own imagination in these pictures. As an artist, I will take Tsar Fedorsky The Light under the Door pictures into consideration as I try and create a world that people can enter and make their own.
