Photographer Vladimir Sokolaev
Manifesto “ТРИВА”
Group “ТРИВА” - a photographer Vladimir Vorobiev, Vladimir Szokolay and Alexander Trofimov, who worked in the 70-80s in the Kuznetsk Metallurgical Combine (KMK), Russia, the Soviet Union. “ТРИВА” members did not leave with the cameras and outside the factory, and the working day. The photographs everyday scenes on the streets of Novokuznetsk 80s. The principles on which to take pictures Trivia - abandonment of retouching and cropping the footage. But most importantly - a complete rejection of staged shots. Everything that happens in the scene, is really going on; man with the camera never tells the heroes, how to make it photogenic, and does not ask them to repeat the missed time. The principle of non-intervention was quite atypical for the official Soviet photography.
On the strong recommendation of the Kemerovo regional committee of the Communist Party, the registration of “ТРИВА” has been canceled. Under pressure from the KGB most of the files had to be destroyed. Officially, the group “ТРИВА” lasted less than a year - from April to the end of January - but has left its mark in the history of photography.
Dogme 95 was later. But that’s another story
