A collection of works by Keizo Kitajima, one of Japan's leading photographers, "USSR 1991 (Cover A, Signed)". As the title suggests, this collection consists of images taken over a year in the early 1990s when the "(former) Soviet Union" collapsed. A project that started after receiving a request from a certain newspaper company to take images and videos of the 15 republics after the collapse of the Commonwealth. It takes place in an extremely dangerous socialist state under a bureaucratic regime, and the portraits of people and landscapes are recorded in pairs. There is also Russia and Ukraine, but rather than “republic,” it is full of “collapse” and “turmoil,” and even makes us feel uncertain about the times and the future. Kitajima had a strong commitment to "when to release" in addition to "when to shoot", and it seems that he decided to release this work "more than 10 years before the Soviet Union will be forgotten". . Kitajima's "1991" PJ has finally ended here, but it is a book that has value and significance to see again in 2023. 3 types of case covers. Limited to 450 copies. With edition number. Signed by the photographer .
