Satellites: A Photographic Journey Through the Unknown Republics of Eastern Europe

About

Norwiegan photographer Jonas Bendiksen, a member of the iconic Magnum cooperative, explores post-Iron-Curtain republics and regions of the former Soviet Union in this exhibition accompanying his new book of the same name. On display at the Sir John Soane-designed PM Gallery & House in Ealing, the images focus on former communist areas often overlooked by photo-journalism, such as Transdniester and Abkhazia. Bendiksen's lens also captures spacecraft crash zones between Russia and Kazakhstan, the Jewish Autonomous Region of Far Eastern Russia and an unrecognised country on the Black Sea.
