Series of small books, Sketch Book Series, consisting of outtakes and contact sheets from the making of The Sochi Project. This book features images taken on an old Kiev medium format camera.
Since 2007 Rob Hornstra and Arnold van Bruggen have been working together to tell the story of Sochi, Russia, site of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games. They have returned repeatedly to this region as committed practitioners of “slow journalism,” establishing a solid foundation of research on and engagement with this small yet incredibly complicated region before it finds itself in the glare of international media attention.
