    Katya Rozhkova

     

    Born in Moscow in 1969.

    Graduated from the Staging faculty

    of the Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography.

     

    Author and Curator of My Personal Cosmos.

  • «My personal cosmos started when my grandmother married my grandfather in a dress made of parachute silk. During the war, he studied at the flight school and somehow got an extra parachute. They used it to make a fantastic dress for my grandmother. In addition, here in Kaluga, my grandfather was the second cameraman on the set of the film about Tsiolkovsky The Man from Planet Earth. And now I'm here too, and my grandmother's dress will be part of the exhibition.»

  • The Celebration installation is assembled from dresses that Katya Rozhkova collected throughout the country. Among them there are baptismal clothes of the 19th century and pre-revolutionary times, wedding dresses, an old-style doctor's coat, Cosmos dresses of the 60s, dedicated to the flight of Yuri Gagarin, and custom-made dresses of the 50-70s.

     

    Each of us has dresses, shirts, and blouses. When we are young, we are being dressed up like dolls. Then we start getting dressed on our own. Some clothes are connected to specific events, and some have a long complicated story. The dress was worn by great-grandmothers then it got altered by dressmakers for grandmothers. Mothers took it in, and daughters cut it for themselves. Celebration brings together dozens of stories belonging to the owners of these dresses, presenting them as single cosmos.
