“Man often brings his deeply private to public places. For example, he  can show relationship to God passionately . But the street is full of people, indifferent to God, or quietly carrying in the heart their faith. There are many beautiful dissonances, generating excellent composition and staging .

The mood of the people, the smells and colors of the street are mixed: sorrow and happiness, detachment and curiosity, fabulous eyes shine with a black eye sockets flops, sweat with incense, the stench of garbage with candle fumes, black and white, gray and more gray. Smolyaninov chose complicated facet of street life – the improvised theater, in which two audience – a photographer and God. And both amuse themselves, looking for a lie and the truth, sincerity and false. Faith in God frees people from two of many evils – boredom and needs. Kostya captures this process with the camera, placing ironic accents.

Kostya’s  clock have no arrow. He lives in an old Lviv, travels to other ancient cities, where streets in some aspects of life, as it were, as it were frozen without time, almost transformed into a formal plan. Smolyaninova Pictures have a very important feature: they are simultaneously fixed fraction of a second, and for centuries back and forth. ”
