US-based photographer Sasha Rudensky’s work has appeared internationally in exhibitions and across publications such as New York Times Magazine, Aperture, Art Forum, Der Spiegel and others. In 2009 she returned to her native Russia to photograph the younger generation. Travelling between Russia and Ukraine for the following six years, her series Tinsel and Blue is an intimate ode to the “orphaned post-Soviet generation that came of age in an ideological vacuum”.
