Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Fine. 1st Edition. Text in English, German and Russian. In a cardboard slipcase. Die Dämmerung 111 blue-toned plates. Am Boden 126 brown-toned plates. "Shot on the streets of Kiev and Kharkov (Mikhailov's home town) with a Horizont panoramic camera (manufactured in Kharkov), both books are a searing indictment of a society that has broken down and whose vacuum has been filled by the 'free' market.The sense of chaos, despair and misery is unrelenting, with image after image detailing environmental decay, shabby street people, food queues and comatose drunks lying on the streets. This is hard-hitting social documentary photography.Neither work could be described as uplifting in tone, but the pair make for an immensely powerful, unsettling, yet subtle photobook."--Parr & Badger.

Descripción Hardcover. Condición: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Edition, Die Dammerung / Am Boden (At Dusk / By the Ground). Stylistically Boris Mikhailov is one of the most wide-ranging of contemporary photographers, and in this immensely powerful, unsettling, yet subtle photobook of two volumes, featuring a total of 237 color plates from photographs shot in Kiev and his home town of Kharkov, Mikhailov has created a searing indictment of a society that has broken down [and] in the photographer s own words, has given rise to a society of wolves This is hard-hitting social documentary. But without in any way reducing its immediate documentary impact, Mikhailov takes it further, looking for those historical symbols that lift the work from a specific social condition and give it a more universal meaning (Parr & Badger II:77).
