Russian Pin-Up by photographer Irina Davis
“By photographing exclusively Russian immigrant women in traditional
all-American pin-up poses, I am inventing my own genre of Russian
pin-up. My concept is to portray pure beauty, femininity and
sexuality, not to objectify but to empower. To those who identify the
clues in my work, hidden to most non-Russian eyes, I am telling the
story of a crisis of Russian national identity, and the frustration and
confusion of self-identification with the Old Country, the New World
and a diaspora caught between them. My goal is to bridge the gap and
seduce the spectator with alluring imagery, trapping him into
empathizing with a foreign element.”
