In Keep Distance, Boris Mikhaïlov leads us on a wild, dizzying ride from which we emerge slightly breathless and unsteady. Acting as a kind of visual logbook, the series is composed primarily of recent images (2020–2024) with some older photos mixed in. It has all the appearance of a mental tracking shot, one in which fragmentary or haphazardly framed images unsettle our gaze to such a degree that we find ourselves doubting what we see. Street scenes, everyday objects and screenshots combine with more intimate portraits: of his wife and collaborator Vita, his children, his inner life. The framing is always a little unstable, on the edge of leaving something out of shot, never neutral.
