Three questions to Egor Guschin
Egor Guschin (b. 1988, Ukraine) is an artists with a diversified background. Guschin graduated from the Kharkiv University of Construction and Architecture with a degree in Organizational Management. He worked in the food service industry and as a barista in a coffee shop for a long time before finding his true passion in photography.
His work has been featured in various publications and exhibited in galleries in Lviv, Kharkiv and Kyiv, Ukraine. His career as an artist began in 2023. Today, he is a member of the MYPH school of conceptual and Fine Art Photography.
Guschin works with analog photography, mainly using the multiple exposure technique. Inspired by surrealism, he loves to study mysticism, dreams, and make experiments with the expired film.
I was exploring how unfinished feelings shape our inner reality and continue to affect us even after awakening. Ghost Of The Past - this work is part of my research into dreams and subconscious images in which past feelings continue to live their hidden lives. In a dream, I saw her silhouette again. I used the double exposure technique so that female silhouette turns into a ghost that comes in a dream as a symbol of lost love. A loved one who exists only in memories returns to an emotionally charged dream world where reality and the subconscious merge into one.
From his last series
What are the main questions that bother you at the moment?
I am concerned with the question of identity: who am I in this chaotic world? How do my actions affect others and do I leave behind something significant? Especially now, when there is a war around and reality seems fragile, there is a feeling that life is a fine line between illusion and reality.
What do you fear?
My biggest fear is to lose myself. To stop searching, creating, to feeling. To become part of a routine that destroys individuality. And, of course, to lose loved ones who are my source of inspiration.
Where do you get courage to do what you want?
I find courage in creativity and in those fleeting moments when I truly connect with my emotions or other people. Every project I create feels like a bridge to something greater—a reminder that even in uncertainty, there’s always a chance to bring something meaningful into the world. Courage comes when I remind myself that every step forward matters, even if it is small.
