RTR Gallery presents Furious like a child, Margo Ovcharenko’s first solo exhibition. The project was developed as part of the artist’s residence in FABRICA, the Benetton Group’s communication research center. but all images were taken in the Russian countryside.
The exhibition a selection of 70 images , with brief interviews of her models, collected by Ovcharenko is a visual mosaic : young women still childish posing for the photographer, small gymnasts captured during their lessons, portraits on tombstones of women of the past, excerpts from her own archives referring to her life as a child, dressed as a gymnast, and finally some images from pornographic magazines. “My desire is to not give you a puzzle to put together, which gives a predetermined picture of good or evil.” Rather, the images are elements of personal reflections and experiences and those of others, collected stories.
