In the Russian East
« In the Russian East » is an echo to the work of Richard Avedon, “In the American West” (1985). At the manner of the American photographer, Davide Monteleone wanted to map Russia, the one far from Moscow, from a purely geographical trajectory; to go east, to reach out to China and the borders of the new “Empire” where Russians, Chinese and Koreans coexist side by side. Monteleone crossed the large Soviet industrial cities as well as small and isolated villages, to capture, through faces and places, the evolution of new power propaganda in these detached places.
Davide Monteleone shows us the face of a multifaceted, deconstructed Russia; with its extensive geography; its multitude of cultures, ethnicities and religions; its complex social dynamics and its incessant changes.
