Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- From 11 to 20 June, people in Tashkent will have an opportunity to visit a photo exhibition “Where time comes from”, which will showcase around 100 photos taken during expeditions to the North and South Poles. The opening of the exhibition will take place on 11 June at Tashkent’s Center of National Arts. The organizers are the Fund Forum and IJOD Association of Artists, Art Historians and Craftsmen.

The unique expeditions to the two extreme points of Earth were made in 2005. The group of travelers was led by Yevdokia Marchenko, a doctor of science, astronomer and member of the Authors and Publicists International Association. In December 2008, the Exhibition Center of the St. Petersburg division of the Russian Union of Artists hosted the first photo exhibition “Where time comes from”, which was organized by “LIRA”, an intellectual and creative association (St. Petersburg).

Once the works on display were highly lauded by the visitors, the organizers decided to take the works to showrooms in other cities in Russia and abroad. Over a year and a half, the photo exhibition was held in Moscow, Kostroma, Perm, Krasnoyarsk, Yekaterinburg, Tomsk, Kemerovo, Vladivostok, Habarovsk (Russia); Odessa, Kiev, Uzhgorod, Yalta (Ukraine); Kaunas (Lithuania); Almaty (Kazakhstan); Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan); and Toronto (Canada).

Visitors to the exhibition will get a sense of how it feels to be on the Poles, a unique opportunity given that very few people have been there. The photos offer unrivaled sunset views, dazzling snow and ice found on the North and South Poles.

The 100-odd photos featuring beautiful landscapes, animals and mysterious objects will convey to visitors the mood that the expedition members experienced. Meetings and presentations to be held during the exhibition will be an opportunity to find out what mysteries are hidden by the two poles of our planet. The North Pole expedition members will also share their impressions and observations.
