About this title

Review:

"Surreal tableaux in which scenes of everyday Russian life collide with strange landscapes and glamorous images of naked women. At times they seem like the fantastical outpourings of a fevered mind; at others [...], they make a sharp political point."―Metro

"Each image is made of several slides superimposed to form the 'visual sandwich'. The results are fascinating, varying from the surreal and the disturbing to the beautiful and the sublime... [An] excellent publication."―Amateur Photographer

About the Author:

Boris Mikhailov (b.1938) lived in his hometown of Kharkov in the Ukraine until the collapse of the USSR. Trained as an engineer, he worked in a factory until 1968, when he was forced to quit his job and he became a photographer. His work has been exhibited in major museums worldwide, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1993, the Kunsthalle in Zurich in 1996, and more recently the Fotomuseum in Winterthur, which organized a retrospective show of his work in 2003. Boris Mikhailov now lives in Berlin.
