Shortlist MACK First book award 2014
"The novel included in the book tells a story about the young man, skateboarder and enthusiastic photographer, grown up in Moscow suburb.
The narrative has interlacements between hero's memories about relationship, dreams and stories of everyday life. The mixture of external and internal, experience and knowledge in the book brings out a problem of becoming of identity and personality of the person, living in a postsoviet city suburb.
The photographs captured lives of skateboarders and graffiti writers, districts landscapes and sites of travels. Working with an eclectic form, meanings between images I want to avoid direct narratives. Trying to show one's experience structures rising between images and events, described in the book."
