Lucia Ganieva: Ermitazhniki – Museum Attendants
A tribute to the attendants at the Hermitage Museum
The Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg houses an untold number of artworks, which are guarded by a large band of museum attendants. Russian/Dutch photographer Lucia Ganieva’s exhibition Ermitazhniki – Museum Attendants is a tribute to these quiet workers of the Hermitage, and to their knowledge of art. In her portraits Ganieva has elevated the attendants to stand alongside the Hermitage’s paintings. Past and present meet, and what a conversation ensues!
