"It so happened that Olga and I started working together, even though she hadn’t gone through any formal artistic education. But in fact, she has been self-educating with such a speed, that nowadays no project is executed without her participation. Moreover, since I am color-blind, all aspects related to color fall under her responsibility.
Both of us love theater, exhibitions, second-hand markets and our house in Normandy, which interior we are constantly re-designing. And I can no more imagine myself working alone.
We began the project The Discharge Album in 2008. After my son Taras KAMMENOY had been recruited to the army in Ukraine I thought about the discharge album* he would create during his military service. What kind of album would a young artist, a cynic and a nihilist make? What would he create in this genre of army subculture? (Sergey KAMENNOY)
*In the army subculture, the discharge album is a unique hand-made book that contains photographs, texts and drawings about the army life. It is created by the soldier himself in only one copy.
The authors specially thank Lidia LYKHACH and Misha PEDAN for their belief in the project, and Nikolay SHTOCK for his assistance in design.
