Satellites: A Photographic Journey Through the Unknown Republics of Eastern Europe
-
- Satellites, photo: Jonas Bendiksen, Russia, Altai Territory. 2000. Villagers collecting scrap from a crashed spacecraft, surrounded by thousands of white butterflies. Environmentalists fear for the region's future due to the toxic rocket fuel.

Norwiegan photographer Jonas Bendiksen, a member of the iconic Magnum cooperative, explores post-Iron-Curtain republics and regions of the former Soviet Union in this exhibition accompanying his new book of the same name. On display at the Sir John Soane-designed PM Gallery & House in Ealing, the images focus on former communist areas often overlooked by photo-journalism, such as Transdniester and Abkhazia. Bendiksen's lens also captures spacecraft crash zones between Russia and Kazakhstan, the Jewish Autonomous Region of Far Eastern Russia and an unrecognised country on the Black Sea.
