Palimpsests is a photographic exploration of post-Soviet built environment looked at from the perspective of the everyday. Photographed between 2010 and 2017 in over 70 urban locations in five post-Soviet countries, it captures the most mundane and typical elements of landscape — supermarkets, industrial areas, office blocks and housing of various types and times, private homes, schools, stations, government buildings, etc. that could be seen in almost any locality across the ex-Soviet Union.
"Palimpsests", the title of the book is the name used for a old manuscript page, from which the text has been scraped or removed so that the page can be reused for a new content.
