Love Story 2001

Arsen Savadov’s 2001 photograph “Love Story” depicts a surreal and whimsical scene. Three figures, two men and one woman, are posed in a park setting, wearing mushroom-shaped hats. The woman is reclining under a tree, while the two men stand beside her. The scene is filled with symbolic objects, such as a ukulele, a birdcage, and a bottle of champagne, suggesting a playful and somewhat melancholic narrative. Savadov’s use of color and composition creates a dreamlike atmosphere, inviting viewers to interpret the meaning of this enigmatic image.
