Surrealist Photography by Katerina Bodrunova « Art Installations Katerina Bodrunova was born in 1985 and currently lives in Moscow, Russia. This young photographer creates artistic photographs with a surrealist element. The word “surrealism” means “above reality” and is used to describe art works that mimic the world in a realistic way, but contains subject matter that is fantastic and unrealistic. Salvador Dali’s The Persistence of Memory (1931) is one of the world’s most famous and iconic surrealist paintings, depicting metling clocks in a desert landscape. Bodrunova’s photography is similar in nature to Dali’s paintings, except that each art work is created using a camera instead of paint brushes. Bodrunova plans each surrealist photograph carefully, posing her models just so to get the effect that she wishes to create. One of Katerina Bodrunova’s most popular series of photographs is her collection of pictures of underwater dancers. Katerina Bodrunova is definitely an artistic photographer to keep an eye on.
