The Borders of Russia.
The Borders of Russia is a documentary photographic study of the Russian border - the longest national border in the world. I have been travelling along the perimeter of Russia and closely examining The Border Guard Service of Russia - the complex military community tasked with patrol and defence of the Russian border. This community interacts with landscapes and different ethnical groups living in borderline territories. I am interested in studying this mutual influence thought the means of photography. The project is in essence documentary, but has taken an approach of an anthropological ethnographical journey with a fine-art perspective.
