The first album by the Tyumen photographer Sergey Kiselev, published after his death: in his last year he chose the pictures and worked with a designer on the layout, but did not live to see it printed. Everything here is as he intended, sequence and foreword unchanged despite its light tone. Kiselev considered Dodecaphony the most important book of his life, a serious reckoning with the viewer; documentary work was his calling, paired with a gift for finding the paradoxical in the ordinary. The photographs, taken over some thirty years from the 1990s to the present, shift register from reportage into something closer to a philosophical portrait of the times he lived through.
