This is a compelling and sad but beautiful road story. Luc Delahaye, photographer and also melancholy storyteller, travels in winter across the dark landscape of Russia, where he takes an intimate look into the private face of Russia's moral and social crisis. This is a unique body of work, bridging the divide between both art and journalism. The photographs are poetic - at the same time terrifying, exciting, intimate, moving and also very revealing. They offer many pleasures despite the depressing subject matter of a nation falling to pieces in winter, through alcohol and drug abuse.
