Photographs from Russia 1996-2017

The exhibition was up on the walls for only a day before we had to close Pushkin House to the public. Before anybody had seen the exhibition yet, it was there, designed by the artist in response to the architecture of the building, and to reconnect with it over lockdown we published one photograph online every week accompanied by a short essay.

Curated by Elena Zaytseva.
