The Pet Show #6 多莉·法比雪夫 Dolly Faibyshev
多莉·法比雪夫
生于1981年,美国
多莉·法比雪夫是一位热爱色彩、构图和人类境况的艺术家。在这个系列《最佳表演》中,我们看到了在威斯敏斯特犬展上过度打扮的动物的照片。
多莉·法比雪夫在电视上第一次看到犬展后,就开始出于自己的兴趣去拍摄犬展,她觉得这是一个作为外来者所体验到的独特世界。多年来,这成了她不断回归的主题。犬展上的情感是显而易见的⸺从比赛前的焦虑和紧张到比赛结束时的欢乐与悲伤共存。现场能感受到各种期待、人群、情感、色彩和声音等元素的存在,捕捉它们是一种乐趣。
作为俄罗斯移民的后代,美国梦的间接幻想从小就根植于她的脑海中,直到她学会使用图片去定义这些经历。她是一位在纽约市自学成才的摄影师,她在各种各样的形式中探索美国梦的存在。

Dolly Faibyshev
B.1981, USA
Dolly Faibyshev is an artist with love for color, composition, and the human condition. In this series Best in Show we see photographs of overly groomed animals at the Westminster Dog Show.
Dolly Faibyshev started photographing dog shows for her own enjoyment after first seeing them on tv, and they called out to her as a unique world to experience as an outsider. Over the years it became something she kept coming back to. The range of emotions at a dog show is palpable - from anxiety and tension before the competition to elation and sadness coexisting at the end of it all. The anticipation, the crowds, the emotions, colors and sounds - these things exist in abundance and are a joy to capture.
Born to Russian immigrants, the vicarious fantasy of America became in- grained in her from an early age until she learned to define those experiences in pictures. She is a New York City based self-taught photographer exploring the meaning of the American Dream in all its forms.
