About
Olga Chernysheva captures everyday life in post-Communist Russia and her subjects are the ordinary people of Moscow.Although she maintains a distance from her subjects, Chernysheva is not critical of them in the sense of judging either them or the political or social conditions that contextualise their lives.
Often the precise location of the depicted subjects is unclear, and Chernysheva observes closely, uncovering the humour and contradictions that underpin Russian society as it goes through a long period of upheaval.
