Images from ‘After Us’ by Sergey Bykov
After Us is a means of reconciling the banal as significant, the ordinary as mysterious, the close as appropriately alien, and the finite as a semblance of the infinite. In his words: “A collection of portraits of people I met on my way: relatives, loves, friends, colleagues I used to work with, places I visited. The oldest and the biggest part of my work. My direct experience of facing the reality around me, as brought back from the past by the waves of my memory, as a chain of bright, meaningful moments.” Seventeen original short stories accompany Bykov’s eighty-seven photographs.
