PROJECT:
Jubilee edition of the colour photoalbum
"PARADZHANOV. In memory of sorrow "
"Serhii Paradzhanov was (and will remain) a free and unrestrained person. One could not keep him on the chain. He could neither be photographed, so that this photo will fully represent him, nor portrayed to chow his personality in all respects. Paradzhanov was deeper than anybody could imagine it."
Les' Taniuk
Verkhovna Rada's Deputy
