I’m currently busy editing the material I shoot in Turkmenistan. Stay tuned for more images.

I’m proud to announce that my series “The Tribe” and “Theatre of the absurd” will be a part of the exhibition of Dutch photographers that photograph Russia. The opening is scheduled for Sunday, the 10th of March at 17:00 in Moscow.

I will be present at the opening and will do a little talk on the 11th of March.

I’m currently in the Amsterdam airport, where I will board the plane to St. Petersburg and tomorrow I will be off to Turkmenistan, where I will work on a new project about the alabai dogfights and perhaps some other topics. Considering the fact that it is a very closed off country I might be out of touch. Will try to update my blog once in a while if such opportunity will present itself.
