In Russia, everything outside of Moscow and St Petersburg is considered provincial. Even if many of the cities in the Russian hinterland easily reach several hundred thousand to over a million inhabitants. Poet Hendrik Jackson and photographer Heinrich Völkel have travelled to five such provincial capitals together: Archangelsk, Astrachan, Wolgograd, Uljanowsk and Kaliningrad.
Their lyrical and photographic reflections make for exceptional city portraits. In Provintsiya, the scroll, their journey can be retraced as if on a train, from one place to the next, taking us to a Russia we are not familiar with, far beyond the clichés.
Sounds of Provintsiya
Apart from words, Hendrik Jackson has also brought back sounds from the journey, adding a third dimension through which we can immerse ourselves in Provintsiya’s places.
Sounds of Uljanowsk
Sounds of Wolgograd
Sound of Tscheljabinsk
Sound of Astrachan
Sounds of Archangelsk
