#Gratitude #Thanks #Spasibo
On October 7, 2011, the blogger and now United Russia Party member, Vladimir Burmatov, posted a rhyming couplet on Twitter: “Moscow is warm and sunny. Summer! #ThanksToPutinForThat” and encouraged others to follow with their own tweets using the hashtag #ThankstoPutinforThat. The invitation was quickly accepted with more than 10,000 tweets that day. It became the first globally trending Cyrillic hashtag. The resulting tweets were frequently sarcastic or critical of Putin’s political agenda.
This specific project utilized publicly available GPS information embedded in #ThanksToPutinForThat to track user post locations and creating photographs to mark the locations in the real world.
Promises Written on the Ice, Left in the Sun
Worked with 2020 Visionary Award from the Tim Hetherington Trust winner Kiana Hayeri on an outdoor exhibition for her photography series documenting the stories of women in Afghanistan who have been profiled in the media.
