A book is about an impossibility of female love in the times of advanced communication.

"Two people. One is very passionate. He is all fire, whirlwind, beauty, endless flight and movement, goodbye to the old; the new life is ahead – he is sure. She writes to him. But the words, the messages do not reach him. The connection has failed. But one can argue, persuade, forgive, love, talk to oneself, feel sad, do things, count days, live through weeks, contemplate for hours, write… Without sending the messages".

"Iphonographique" originated in 2012, a year I started a lot and with pleasure taking pictures with my phone and an Instagram app. Iphonography opened my second wind. The thing is, till that moment I worked in a rather narrow paradigme of a black and white photography. And when i suddenly became able to feel and understand color, I was very inspired. I decided to combine all these colorful photos in a book and proposed an opportunity to write a text for it to my friend contemporary movie director Valeria Gai Germanica. And in the year 2015 all this iphonography and two no less poetic Germanica's texts came together to tell you a new exciting story not on photography, but on bizarre ways of living, loving and suffering.
