This special limited edition of Carl De Keyzer's Soviet work is breathtaking. Presented in dustjacket with slipcase and silver print, Homo Sovieticus documents pre-Yeltsin Russia in beautifully expressive tritone plates. Sections of De Keyzer's journal occupy the beginning of the book, which then gives way to rich black-and-white images made with De Keyzer's 6×7cm and 6×17cm medium-format cameras. These images are intriguing and passionate documents of a culture and society on the brink of change.

Note: Although the book's colophon page states that the limited edition includes a signed and numbered print, the prints are only signed and stamped, as issued.
