Russian Interiors by Andy Rocchelli. Published in 2014 in an edition of 700 copies and instantly sold out. A second edition has subsequently sold out too. This copy is the second edition.
“Andy started to travel to Russia in 2010; there he spent a considerable amount of time working as a freelance photographer. During this time he covered several stories in different places. The book Russian Interiors
, however, sees the light as side job to cover his expenses while staying in Moscow; he challenged local professional competitors, accustomed to work in dedicated environments, by offering low cost portraits to single women in their apartments. Quickly this expedient bloomed into a hefty body of work. This obtained women’s archive takes all kinds including photos he shot for his customers and photos he kept for himself. The core of this work though is deeper than what the commercial shot he was paid for portrays. Soon this method developed into a key to get access to private spaces and stories, to better understand an intimate side of Russian women.”
Rocchelli was killed shortly before publication whilst he was covering the clashes between pro-Russian separatists and the Ukrainian army.
125 pages. All of them brilliant.
