Each photograph is a testament to the human spirit's enduring resilience, inviting readers to bear witness to both the beauty and brutality of the human experience.

I Am Not I tar samman 33 tonotrifo bilder från Boris Mikhailovs ikoniska självporträttsserie som skapats när Sovjetunionen kollapsade.

"I beskrivningen av genesen till I Am Not I i den politiska kontexten av efterdyningarna av Sovjetstatens kollaps har Mikhailov föreslagit att han utför en form av anti-hjälte-respons till den muskelfysiska säkerheten i sovjetisk monumentalk ikonografi."
