OLEG SAVUNOV
Oleg Savunov (b. 1983) is a photographer and visual artist from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. His work integrates photography, video, and mixed media to explore intimacy in visual examination through portraiture, architecture, and landscape.
Through the formal aesthetic and stylistic neutrality, Oleg reveals the intricate nature of our shared and personal fascination with photographic imagery and clearing space for the viewer to think independently about the questions of visual perception, the socio-cultural implications of landscape, and self-reflectivity. He explores and examines the techniques of visual investigation in photography as they relate to philosophical, conceptual, and existential ideas to see how the past shapes the present and to determine how a multi-layered visual narrative can convey information beyond the capacity of language. Oleg graduated form Moscow State Pedagogical University in 2006 with a law degree, then studied press photography at the Faculty of Press Photographers of Saint-Petersburg, Russia (2012) and continued his education at the Fotodepartament Institute in Saint-Petersburg, where most of his current interests were developed (2015). Oleg is currently in his third year of the MFA program at Stanford University.

Oleg’s work was exhibited in Russia, Spain, Italy and US and published in magazines, like Amuse, InRussia, The Guardian, F-Stop, Calvert Journal, GEO, and The Village.
