They collected pictures of people taking pictures with their TV between World War II and Perestroika.
Televisions appeared in America in the late 1920s. In 1932, the Soviet Union released the first mechanical simplest TV, which had to be connected to a radio receiver — he did not have his own loudspeaker.
The distribution of televisions began after the war, when mass production was launched. By 1970, 61% of urban families had a TV, although the device cost 900-1200 rubles with an average salary of 600-800 rubles.
Anna Pilipyuk and Vladimir Shipotilnikov collect amateur photography. Vladimir is engaged in documentary and architectural photography, Anna studied philosophy at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. Participated in the festivals Odessa Photo Days, "Presence" from the "Photo Department", Busan International Photography Festival. Published in EEP Mag, were shortlisted for PHOTO 2020 x Perimeter International Photobook Prize.
