Traces of the Soviet Empire

I have travelled as an archaeologist throughout the former Soviet world, including Mongolia and Kazakhstan, in search of these military bases that embodied the ambition and the might of the USSR.

Fascination for a recently defunct civilisation shared with a true desire to discover sites hidden for so long, these places of power are doomed to disappear in the course of time.

Twenty years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, “Traces of the Soviet Empire” is a long term project at the border of documentary and art photography and the images a reflection on power and the passage of time.
