The Bodies
In the «The Bodies» series, Timofey Kolesnikov extends his exploration of human identity, shifting from portraits of faces to an examination of the human form itself. While «The Faces» explored the face as a vessel of social identity, «The Bodies» turns toward the structure, fragility, and inner architecture of the body.
The series draws inspiration from Timofey’s childhood memories of X-ray rooms — an early fascination with seeing beneath the skin without breaking it. Here, he merges X-ray-inspired tones with the warmth of flesh, asking: what lies beneath the surface? What is the geometry of the body, and why does it hold together?

This project moves beyond individuality, focusing on the body as a universal form — abstract, physical, and vulnerable. Through optical distortion and deconstruction, Timofey explores the body not as a personal image but as a fragile construction of matter, constantly balancing between form and dissolution.
