Attie set up cameras with mirrors at an exposition in Kiev in the Soviet Union and invited Russians to photograph themselves. An amazing array of types and facial expressions resulted among men, women and children. This book raised interesting issues of authorship at the height of the postmodernist dialogue of the 1970s. It also attacked stereotypes in the West of what the Russians were like, with the Cold War still going on. Most of them look harmless, including some hippies. The work relates particularly to that of August Sander, with his frontal approach to photographing different types of people in Germany. SOLD
