El Puercoespin

The website ‘El Puercoespin’ has published a series of photographs from ‘Red Journey’. Elpuercoespin.com.ar is a new digital magazine on politics, journalism and literature founded by two journalists in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

From the site:
“Pasé un año viajando por las quince ex repúblicas soviéticas en busca de rastros del pasado y de signos de transición social. Esta serie, “Red Journey”, descubre las diversas maneras en que los paises de la ex Unión Soviética intentan redefinir sus identidades nacionales después de la desintegración del imperio comunista. Muestra una región de contrastes, de extrema riqueza y descorazonadora pobreza, renovación urbana sin límite que hace aún más visibles los barrios carenciados, nuevo culto a la personalidad de dictadores en una escenografía de gloria perdida.”
