The name of the MIG photo exhibition is a close concept for Yuri Vasilievich Nabatov. The word has a double meaning: “a moment of a lived life” and “a moment” - an instant, a very short period of time that is given for shooting.

The peculiarity of Nabatov’s pictures is a rapid movement: from reporting to portrait, from landscape to street photography, from sports to documentary, architectural, mobilography, etc.

The MIG exhibition project contains more than 60 photographs created by Yuri Nabatov over the past five years (2013-2017). In the year of his 70th anniversary, already back in 2012, Yuri Vasilievich prepared an exhibition in the format of which selected works of different periods were presented. Today the hero of the day is ready to report for the next creative “five-year plan”.

The exhibition is conditionally divided into different genres and thematic sections: LIFE, REPORTING, PORTRAIT, ENTERTAINMENT, SPORT, CULTURE, ARCHITECTURE.

The words of Alexander Rodchenko, once spoken about the art of photography, are close to the author of the exhibition, Yuri Nabatov: “I created TODAY to search for new things tomorrow, although it will be nothing compared to yesterday, but the day after tomorrow I will surpass today’s.”

This project should cause the viewer an instant signal - MIG - a fleeting flash that is born from contact with real art. The master’s works will delight in color. At the same time, a monochrome image with which the master once came to photojournalism will be presented.
