The project received support and recognition from several European institutions. It was shortlisted and selected as a finalist in a number of international competitions, and was presented in
a solo exhibition in Portugal as part of the Encontros da Imagem festival. An interview with Vladimir about the project was published in the catalogue of the Urbanautica Institute Awards, which annually brings together one of the most extensive selections of photography projects highlighted by the curators of the initiative.
Since 2022, Vladimir has not been living permanently in Russia. After emigrating to Georgia, he has been collaborating with
Katya Selezneva on a project exploring urban spaces in Tbilisi (Georgia) through the lens of state control mechanisms and social regulation. The project also addresses the adaptation of emigrants in such environments and their encounters with local residents and members of subcultures. This work was presented in a solo exhibition at
Soooon Space in Tbilisi.
Additionally, over the past several years Vladimir has been working with issues of memory and post-memory as political instruments, as well as with the problem of legitimizing historical crimes. A project dedicated to this subject is scheduled for publication in 2027.
Vladimir Seleznev has a higher education in pedagogy. He is the author of teaching programs and co-founder of
POLEZRENIYA — educational project dedicated to contemporary photography and visual culture.
He is currently living and working in Paris, France.
