Paul Nadar & Payram / Photographic Dialogue on the Silk Road
€42.00
In 1890, following the Silk Road, Paul Nadar brought back a series of photographs showing Soviet modernity, created with Kodak’s first gelatine films. A century later, Payram follows the same road, capturing daily life in the countries of the former USSR in the process of reclaiming their history. Accompanied by a text by Michel Poivert, this book sets up a dialogue between their images, questioning the place of photography in the field of memory.
