The Béton Center of Visual Culture opened a photo exhibition dedicated to the project of photographer Alexander Gentsis «Flight to Dream».

ANT-25 is the same airplane on which Chkalov flew, the world's first transpolar flight.

For the sake of photographs of airplane cabins, Alexander travels all over Russia, looking for the aircraft he needs. Many of them can now only be found in museums.

- It's a huge amount of work and four years of searching,- says the photographer. - For example, the ANT-25 airplane, the same one on which Chkalov performed his flight from Moscow to America, was shot in the pilot's museum in Chkalovsk.

The scenery behind the cabin glass was also taken from Alexander's photos, except, of course, for space - the neural network helped with it.

- And we are used to seeing the airplane from the outside - the wings, the tail, but what's inside the cabin is always a hidden space," Alexander explains. - And I wanted to show the viewer, on the one hand, what our engineers have created in general, and on the other hand, a certain dream of flight that many generations of people have been striving for.

Now the photographer shoots mainly passenger and transport planes, although he plans to continue the series in the future. There are 25 works in it, but the photographer hopes that when he finishes it, there will be about 40 of them. He would be happy to shoot, for example, the cabin of the Buran spaceship.
