In Yekaterinburg, a special variety of pears was bred. Having matured, they become animate, able to think and feel, move and communicate with their own kind. Unless they have not been taught to talk. You can come to such a comic conclusion after seeing an equally amusing photo project by a Russian inventor Stanislav Aristovwho played a series of miniatures with pears, combining all the photographs into a cycle " toys"Stanislav says that he doesn't like people and doesn't know how to work, that's why he decided to use" fruit models. "He selected candidates for a photo session very carefully, arranging a serious" casting "for the fruit. be emotionally expressive. Without this, the plots would not have turned out so realistic. Here, a real person is hiding behind each pear, so that the "pear sketches" will seem familiar to many, almost family. And this is exactly what Stanislav Aristov was striving for in his photo project.

In the photographs, pears behave exactly like people. They walk under the moonlight, are sad by the rain-drenched window, enjoy a balloon, read books and listen to music, go shopping and get married, and also experience other events that are familiar and close to each of us. Plots and images are born as during shooting, and then the originally conceived sketch changes beyond recognition, or the author invents them in advance, and then looks for a pear in stores that would be ideal for this particular plot. Thus, staging episodes from the life of elderly people, Stanislav Aristov uses crumpled and withered fruits as "models", and in order to depict a pregnant pear, he had to look for such a fruit and such an angle so that the belly of the "model" was clearly visible in the photograph.

Stanislav Aristov lives in Yekaterinburg and works in the IT field, so photography is his hobby and a way of self-expression. In addition to photography, he is fond of tourism, which can be learned from his author's portfolio site.
