On this trip I visited four cities, where I have never
been before: Beijing, Ulan Bataar, Irkutsk and Moscow. I
started the journey in Beijing where the legendary
Transsiberian Railway took me through the mountains, to
the mongolian capital and desert, and later across the
mongolian border, to the russian forests and the biggest
agglomeration of Europe, Moscow.
During this journey I documented the mood in the train
and from the windows. When the train stopped I
communicated with people: at train stations, in the
cities and in the countryside. I wanted to record the
evolution, the differences between people and places as I
advanced through this sparse landscape. I discovered
unknown customs and unfamiliar sceneries. While I crossed
two borders and made a huge distance in a slow pace, I
developed a pictorial diary in my mind.
