PREMIERA: 9 WRZEŚNIA 2021
In Soviet Seasons Kotov's photographs reveal unfamiliar aspects of the post-Soviet terrain. From snow-blanketed Siberia in winter, to the mountains of the Caucasus in summer, these images show how a once powerful, utopian landscape has been affected by the weight of nature itself. This uniquely broad perspective could only be achieved by a photographer such as Kotov.
Singularly dedicated to exploring every corner of his country, Kotov often hitch-hikes across vast distances. On these journeys he chronicles not only the architectural achievements of the Soviet empire, but also its overlooked or simply undocumented constructions.
Arseniy Kotov: 'In this book I want to show how beautiful and diverse are the cities and nature of this vast region at different times of the year. I have travelled widely across Russia and neighbouring countries, where I captured the landscape of post-Soviet cities and witnessed the seasonal changes.'
