From White to Black Sea project (2013-2014)
The idea of the photo expedition organized by the Fund Liberty.SU is to travel with the yacht “Freelancer” through the European part of Russia from the White to the Black sea and to document (using photography and multimedia) the contemporary life in this part of Russia.
The first (Northern) part of the expedition (the way from St. Petersburg via White Sea to Kazan) took place in 2013. The project has been finished in 2014 with the second part of the way – from Kazan to the Black sea. I joined the expedition some times: in Vologda region, on the way from Ulyanovsk to Samara and in Volgograd. Here are some of my photos from the expeditions.
Many thanks to the guys – Oleg Klimov, Alexander Aksakov and Artem Lezhepekov for the opportunity to participate in the expedition, for cordiality and hospitality. Thanks to Konstantin Benediktov and Kate Bohachevsky, who have provided this opportunity, and to Anna Shustikova, Alexandra Demenkova, Eugene Petrachkov, Dmitry Tkachuk, Pavel Volkov, Alexei Myakishev and Kate Solovieva for the partnership within the project and exhibition.
