Trees, Cars, Figures of People, Assorted Barriers (2010-2013): The series explores the aesthetic possibilities of contemporary Russian cityscape, taking Moscow as the perfect example of a post-Soviet inhabited location. Historically, the archetype city and the model for any other city within Russian cultural space, Moscow also acts as the place where changes in the cultural landscape become most pronounced and are visible with special acuteness. Photographs are accompanied with textual descriptions questioning whether the image might be equal to the sum of its elements, as well as our readiness to filter out when looking whatever is perceived as familiar. 

The 63 photographs presented here are included in Trees, Cars, Figures of People, Assorted Barriers book first published in 2014.
