Description

“The images in this series are an attempt to capture human stories in everyday life, those that exist in the space between the odd and the ordinary.”—Michal Chelbin

Chelbin's most frequent subjects are children and adolescents, as in the case of Two Athletes. As she states, “My aim is to record a scene where there is a mixture of direct information and enigmas and in which there are visual contrasts between young and old, large and small, normal and abnormal. My playground lies between the private and the public, between fiction and documentary.”
