I started doing this photo project as a volunteer photographer in foundation, which helps hospices. At the beginning I thought that it would be some kind of photo report that documents everyday life of one of Moscow hospices. But the more I was taking photos, the more I realized that first of all I was documenting my own perception and experience of this place. For me this project became some kind of visual investigation about personal dimension of time. At first it seems that time is frozen there. Everyday life in hospice consists of small number of simple procedures. But I feel that time just flows in a different way there. Every moment has very high density of living for person. Just as it seems to us that subject is motionless, although in fact it rotates with great speed. I tried to catch in my photos this private life time dimension.
