Road To Petergof | Ekaterina Vasilyeva

I began working on the Petergof Road project in 2015, when I came back to Petersburg after spending two years abroad. This long absence did something to the way in which I experienced the city space: what had been familiar to the point of being unnoticeable before, all of a sudden became very strange. Petersburg has a very strongly established urban imaginary. Dostoevsky called Petersburg “the most abstract and intentional city on the entire globe”.

I decided to focus my attention on a very particular piece of land: the territory of the road from Sain - Petersburg to Petergof, a tract established by Peter the Great in 1710 to connect the newly built capital to the monarch’s suburban residencies and the resulting huge architectural ensemble according to the Peter idea had to overshadow the road from Paris to Versailles. This territory exemplifies the paradoxical nature of the Russian landscape. This vision, however, was not meant to accommodate the actuality of the rural land, a layer which remained excluded from the official discourse and hence invisible.

Over the past three hundred years, the Petergof road landscape has borne witness to many a utopian vision.In a way, my approach is that of a visual archeologist: by trying to uncover strata which have been previously hidden, I aim to understand and assemble my own identity.
