“It’s a dialogue primarily with myself… a reflection of my past and an amalgamation with the present,” photographer @yurataralov tells Dazed ⭐
In Taralov’s peculiar images of contorted bodies, the natural world, and curious miscellaneous materials, an outsider would know nothing of the amber locket gifted to him by his grandmother, or the coldness of his family kitchen after it bore witness to violence against his mother by his father.

As children, Taralov seems to suggest, we are closer to our primal nature. We have yet to learn – and become inhibited by – social customs and cultural constructs, and this is something to be cherished.

As such, the natural world is a recurrent theme in his imagery, repeatedly relocating the body and the self in the context of nature: scattered soil, roots sprouting, tree branches withering and decomposing.

“Essentially, [nature] serves as an indicator of something real and unfeigned,” he says. “A confirmation of the sincerity in what’s happening in the frame.”
