"Satellites" is a collection of photographs by Norwegian-born photographer Jonas Bendixen, who became chairman of the group of photographers Magnum Photos at the age of 33. This book is a collection of photographs of the people of the former Soviet Union and isolated communities after moving to Russia after working as an intern at Magnum and starting working as a photojournalist. The cover photo shows the remains of a sanitary rocket and the children playing there in the abundant nature of white butterflies, but hygiene is a highly toxic and dangerous substance that promotes pollution in the area. On the other hand, it is a valuable economic resource for scrap iron dealers and cannot be easily disposed of. This is Bendixen's first photo book that captures such a complicated environment from a journalistic perspective and outstanding artistry.
