The Search

I took these photographs in the Diamond Mining Town of Udachny, Russia in 2019.

«The Search or The dust coloured skies over Udachny» tells of the life of a small town in Yakutia. It is a lyrical documentary encounter, a multifaceted portrait of a settlement at the back of beyond, some 10,000 kilometres by road from Moscow, which owes its existence solely to its diamond-rich soil, but which has its own story, and which over the years has left its mark on the people living there.
