In 1890, Paul Nadar embarked on a journey to Central Asia along the Silk Road. He brought back an impressive series of photographs, taken with the first Kodak gelatin films, documenting Soviet modernity in progress.
A century later, Payram takes the same route.
Photographing with a view camera and the latest large-format Kodak films, he captures the daily lives of the former USSR countries in the midst of reclaiming their history.
This book brings their images into dialogue by questioning the place of photography in the field of memory and its capacity to capture history. The originality of its format - two stacked books assembled and bound - adds an additional echo to these two ambitious narratives analyzed by photography historian Michel Poivert.
