Locusts
Photographs by Gusov
|
| ‘A compelling visual study of human weakness, yet one with humour and poignancy which leaves you wondering, just who is watching?’ | | – Black & White Photography |
| ‘Startling images … makes the ordinary extraordinary’ | | – The Daily Express |
Warm and witty, Locusts is a book of photographs that, in the words of its creator, Sasha Gusov, ‘pulls together the concept of mass mentality – photographs that examine the way people eat, the tourist eternally behind the camera, the obsession with consumerism … an investigation of contemporary man – who we are, who we have become and how absurd we can be at times.’
The outcome of five years of work and observation around the world, these brief snatches and moments are a true representation of what humanity does when it thinks that no one is looking.
Sasha Gusov was born in Russia but has lived in London since 1989. His first major photographic project – images of the Bolshoi Ballet – appeared in 1993, and his work has since appeared in The Times and The Daily Telegraph. He has published one other book, Shooting Images.
