Mythos Series

“Mythos” series by LGBTQ photo artist

“We need myths that will identify the individual not with his local group but with the planet.”
― Joseph Campbell, Power of Myth

Myth plays a significant role in individual and societal world understanding and planetary mental integrity. We grow up with myths and we learn from myths. In early age, we develop our world based on myths. Carl Jung summarized this as “Myths are original revelations of the preconscious psyche, involuntary statements about unconscious psychic happenings, and anything but allegories of physical processes”.

Therefore, myth is important for any social group and any age. But somewhere along the lines we lost Queer Myth. Yes, as LGBTQ photo artist, Dmitriy believes that direct expression of political issues is extremely important in art and social studies. But it doesn’t mean we have to give up on myths and queer myths especially. After all, allegories have always been a big part of the creative process. And gay photographer doesn’t propose to shift 180 degrees to the world of dreams, but rather understand that political and humanitarian messages should be delivered in various means. And myth is a powerful approach to deliver the message. This is why Dmitriy started Queer Mythology Renascence. LGBTQ photo artist believes that using the universal language of the Myth, it is much easier to reach and open the minds and hearts of a much wider audience with a unique and powerful way to deliver the message.

Although many of the images created by Boston based gay photo artist are banned by Instagram and some other social platforms as “containing nudity”, Dmitriy believes that it is just the latest Instagram anti-LGBTQ campaign we all have to fight against together. Gay photographer never thought that “Obscure Dream Liberation” will be a beginning of “Instagram nightmare” series. The gay photographer’s Instagram account is “shadow blocked” at the moment and appears to be privet for non-subscribers. Please fight for LGBTQ rights and freedom of expression by following on Instagram accounts like Dmitriy’s. He not alone! You can check the article from the link below.
