Artist’s book: collection of 48 plates accompanied by a text in English and Russian; edition of 99, only 18 copies released

When does the private become relevant to the public?

I took these 48 images with my mobile phone immediately after waking up. They have been published on Instagram and then printed. The photographs depict a year in my life – no selfies though. I moved from one flat to another, I bought a house, and I travelled. I spent time alone, with my partner, in hotels, in my friends’ beds. The plates are arranged chronologically but not numbered. Their order is easy to disturb ­– their chronology in my memory is just as fragile.
