Petya's brothels: for those who missed the photo exhibition of the expert on courtesans, we show it online

Peter Lovygin is a Russian photographer who travels a lot around the world and runs his own travel blog. His incredible imagination creates a completely different world in an amazing way, in which the line between reality and fiction is blurred. Lovygin can even be called a storyteller, with a mandatory caveat: all fairy tales are 18+.

Last year, Petya, as part of the blog tour #VTatarstaneOK, went on a trip around the republic on a motorhome. An expert on courtesans was expected in Kazan, and an artist arrived:

Now Lovygin has gathered together all his expertise and intends to publish a book about corrupt love. In this regard, he sticks around in Portugal and finishes writing a masterpiece in order to decorate the shelves of bookstores with it by the end of May. In support of this useful initiative, we organized an exhibition of photographs of Peter. For those who could not see Lovygin's work in person, we tell you how the opening went and publish exhibition pictures online.

(18 photos in total)

The exhibition was one-day and was prepared literally in a week. The printing of photographs was done by Kvik-art printing house.

At the opening, Petya, as befits the author, went to the center of the hall and talked about what he knows very well — he remembered about the Colombian porn theater in Medellin, about a brothel in Ethiopia, about nightclubs in Cuba and their swarthy buxom visitors. It turned out that the decision to publish the book was extremely successful — people were keenly interested in the topic of selling love.

The exhibition clearly pleased the guests — by the end of the event, all of it was literally pulled apart: people asked to sign photo works and took them home.
