Book : Le Desert Russe by Ljubiša Danilovic

Preview

Editions lamaindonne presents the work of Ljubiša Danilovic in this book entitledLe Desert Russe (The Russian Desert). As the author explains, “By 2050, Russia will have lost a third of its current population. The largest country in the world will then have just a hundred million  citizens.

The Russian desert is a photographic work of fiction, a personal work with snowy Russia as its backdrop, suggesting the inevitable demographic disaster.
I take both a poetic and documentary approach. My work combines personal impressions and visions of unknown parts of the world. Through my photographs, I set out to explore a dreamlike world, suggested by the demographic desert, the loneliness of its inhabitants and the harsh climate. A region on the far side of the world, with empty landscapes inhabited by strange creatures and people who seem to appear as ghosts.

I have crossed Russia on three occasions, on the legendary Trans-Siberian railway from Saint Petersburg to Vladivostok. However, this book is not about trains or Russia. It is about a journey. A fifteen-year long inner journey which I can now say is coming to an end.”
