For this project, Davide Monteleone was inspired by Richard Avedon's "In the American West", a masterpiece in the history of photography.
Emulating the language of the American photographer, Monteleone gave us a choral portrait of the Russian social fabric. Pushing himself to the remote eastern borders where the echoes of Nationalism resonate weakly, he was able to put a human face to a structureless and multifaceted Russia, a country distressed by a too extended land, multicultural population, complex social dynamics and ceaseless changes.
