"The out-of-print photographic volume 'Maskiovka' by German photographer and filmmaker Tobias ZIELONY (b.1973) contains series in which he documents the gay techno scene of Kiev, Ukraine. Maskirovka alludes to a Russian method of deceptive warfare evoking images of gas masks and hooded soldiers, while the photographs themselves explore other types of "masking" in the expression of sexual identity."
