June 5 saw Kazan and Nizhnekamsk open their respective editions of the “From the First-Person Perspective” environmental photo exhibition. The main theme of these eco-exhibitions is the study of how the city and nature could coexist in harmony. Both cities' recent history is tightly connected with present-day petrochemistry. A first-hand account of how man-made and natural beauty complement each other was provided by the protagonists of the photos: the cities and their residents, the plants of Kazanorgsintez and Nizhnekamskneftekhim, the wondrous nature of Tatarstan, its flora and fauna. The project was organized by the Moscow Design Museum with the support of SIBUR's Formula for Good Deeds social investment program.

Olga Manidicheva, Deputy Minister of Environment and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan:
“Tatarstan is one of Russia's petrochemical clusters. This, of course, places a great deal of responsibility on us in terms of securing environmental safety. We take the matter of environmental conservation very seriously and we are happy to be supported in this endeavor by the region's key enterprises: Kazanorgsintez and Nizhnekamskneftekhim. We would like to congratulate our colleagues on the opening of this important educational exhibition and invite residents and visitors to explore the exposition and learn more about these plants and their technologies, as well as about the environment around them.”

The masterminds of the “From the First-Person Perspective” project pondered the question of whether there can be harmony between the environment and large-scale manufacturing operations, and whether nature can be in harmony with high technology. The answers to these and other questions were searched for by Russia's top photographers. They did this by observing life around and inside these two of SIBUR's plants, without which the present and the future of Kazan and Nizhnekamsk cannot be imagined. The exhibition features 40 photo stories, each of them told on behalf of the character portrayed in the photo. Although voices of some of them cannot be heard in real life, it is all the more interesting to imagine what the plant's facilities, animals and birds could have told us.

Alexander Zhalyuk, Head of Ecology, Kazanorgsintez:
“The ‘From the First-Person Perspective’ exhibition opened as part of Kazanorgsintez's Environment Week and it serves as an important example of our company's openness and transparency. The exposition features unique photos of our production facility. Behind each of these photos there is a program, project or environmental initiative of our enterprise, our plant’s employees or local residents. These photos were taken by renowned masters of event and industrial photography. I hope that you will not only enjoy them aesthetically, but that they will also help you get to know our company better”.

The exhibition featured photographers of different genres.

Images of wildlife (wild animals and birds) were provided by wildlife photographers Radik Kutushev and Nefotograf.

of how beautiful and fragile our environment is and how important it is to preserve the right balance and harmony in nature.”

Earlier, this exhibition had also opened in Tobolsk. In each of the three cities, various characters and photographers narrate their own unique stories. Together they explore the juxtaposition of the city and nature, while also trying to strike a balance between the need to make progress and the responsiblity to carefully preserve the world around us.

Alexandra Sankova, the exhibition's curator, director of the Moscow Design Museum, design historian, and an active promoter of eco-friendly design and recycling:
“The city, nature, factories, environment, respect for the planet... We wanted to discuss these important concepts using
a vivid and figurative language. That's why we endowed the protagonists of the photos with their own unique voices and named the exhibition “From the First-Person Perspective”. Thanks to these photo stories and the audio guide that accompanies each shot, we will be given a chance to look at familiar things from an entirely different angle”.
