One morning a package arrives from Kyrgysztan. It contains a vintage camera and a handwritten letter from a friend on a 6-month journey through former Soviet States. The letter is illustrated with a colourful drawing. The LOMO Lubitel 166B is send as a present but containes a gift in return: an exposed roll of film inscribed with the Cyrillic letters, ISO 64. After developing and printing out the film, the images reveal a warm and hospitable encounter between a family and what appears to be two young male travelers. Are they relatives or mere passers-by?
The voyage and encounters of my friend are mirrored in 12 timeless and private moments between strangers.
