The Sochi Project
An Atlas of War and Tourism in the Caucasus
Photographer Rob Hornstra and journalist Arnold van Bruggen have been collaborating since 2009 to document the turbulent region of Sochi, Russia. Over the course of five years and eleven visits, they practiced a form of “slow journalism” in order to delve deeply into the area’s complexities, and its remarkable transition in preparation to host the 2014 Olympic Winter Games. Organized by Aperture Foundation, New York and The Sochi Project. Made possible, in part, with generous support from Mondriaan Funds and the Consulate General of the Netherlands. On view at the CONTACT Gallery until May 31.
