Dear Oliver,

My name is Danila Tkachenko, and I’m one of the curators of the upcoming exhibition “Static Cinema”, which will take place in Venice from August 29 to September 24, 2025, running in parallel with the city’s renowned international film festival.

I recently came across your work and was genuinely struck by its strong visual language and cinematic sensibility — qualities that resonate deeply with the themes of our exhibition. I believe your approach would be a meaningful contribution to the narrative we're building, and I’d like to personally invite you to be part of it.

Static Cinema brings together a curated group of international artists working at the intersection of photography and cinema. The exhibition will be held during one of the most dynamic cultural moments in Venice, attracting a wide audience of curators, professionals, festival visitors, and influencers.

We’re carefully selecting a limited number of artists whose work reflects the emotional and visual rhythm of film — and I feel your work aligns powerfully with this vision.

If this sounds interesting, I’d be happy to send you more information, including the terms of participation and technical guidelines.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Warm regards,

Danila Tkachenko
