Synopsis

In summer 2013 I was invited to represent Germany at The Russian Moment – 20 World’s Leading Photographers’ Expedition in Russia and to produce a body of work on the occasion of the G20 Leaders Summit on Financial Markets and the World Economy, Saint Petersburg, Russia, September 2013.

My resulting project Waves of Amur documents the economic, social, and personal structures of the villagers along the Federal Highway Amur (Amur M58). The highway recently finished as the last part of the transcontinental route from St. Petersburg to Vladivostok and runs the 2,165 km from Chita to Khabarovsk in South-East Siberia. While Amur M58 brings new economic development to the region, life remains quite and simple for the majority who reside alongside the highway.
