Description

Uncomfortable in its quiet frankness, Dima Markov’s book arouses interest, respect and a sense of helplessness. Interesting is the author’s extreme life experience, which is honestly documented in the book through text and photographs. Admires his openness and lack of moralizing about a difficult topic – the lives of people who for various reasons were overboard, those who are commonly referred to as marginalized. The book contains one hundred and forty-three color photographs taken on a cell phone in the last two or three years in provincial Russia. Through the specific details of the author’s biography, environment, everyday life, and locations, the cultural geography familiar to many who were born and raised here emerges.

Hardcover, 20×20 cm, 204 pp.
