AN ATLAS OF WAR AND TOURISM IN THE CAUCASUS - The Sochi Project
Rob Hornstra and Arnold van Bruggen have been working together since 2009 to tell the story of Sochi, Russia, site of the 2014 Winter Olympics. They have returned to the region several times as committed practitioners of "slow journalism", establishing a solid foundation of research and engagement with this small yet incredibly complicated place before it found itself in the glare of international media attention. The book focuses on evocative visual accounts of a place where beach tourism rubs shoulders with terrorism, corruption and poverty.
Hornstra's photographic approach compiles the best of documentary storytelling with contemporary portraits, found photographs and other visual elements gathered during their travels. Since the beginning of their collaboration, The Sochi Project has been published in installments, in book form and online, each focusing on a particular facet of history, geography, people, and their story.
