Dmitri Galitzine’s work is set within folk culture. It uses the kind of stories people read about in newspapers, absurd and amazing, ordinary and epic.

 

Dmitri is romanced by hobbyists and eccentrics; their sheds and garages; passions and dreams.

 

He opens portals to hidden or overlooked activities and social groups through performance, film, socially engaged actions, sculpture, documentation and affection.

 

The artist’s stories show people as characters, where you can’t tell the difference between the real and role play.

 

Back and Forth is a new documentary film about East Cowes and its ferry.
