"Infants" the stage project by Petr Axenoff. He arranges the heroes, organizes decorations, costumes and direct gestures, before removing his staged photography. His small heroes sometimes seem beautiful, sometimes puzzling, sometimes antagonize and frightening, but do not leave indifferent. There is quite connected narrative in Axenoff’s life pictures. In fact, more than two dozen of his photographs are an allegory of a young life.
