From Yaroslavl With Love

Anne Fishbein

Published on July 17, 2003

These images, from my new book of photographs, On the Way Home, were taken in the Russian city of Yaroslavl between 1990 and 2000. I originally went to Yaroslavl as part of a joint-venture, independent film project between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union. Writer-director Chris Schmidt was an old friend of mine, and he wrote me into the production budget because, as he put it, I needed to get there because of how I saw the world visually. The resulting pictures — from a Communist rally to a long line for mayonnaise — are less about a specific culture and more about a kind of photographic ambiguity of time and place.

On the Way Home, Perceval Press, 2003. Perceval Press is a new, L.A.-based independent publisher specializing in art, critical writing and poetry.
