About As a Western world capital, Moscow is now unique in the fact that it has the accoutrements of a city but the economy of a village. Survival on the streets here is more akin to the 16th than the 20th century. For the first time since the coup which ousted Gorbachev, a Western photographer has compiled a detailed photographic essay on the effects of that event. In 64 photographs, Donovan Wylie dissects this great city as never before, distilling its human situation into a moving and coherent narrative of pain and joy, showing ordinary life thrown into turmoil by extraordinary circumstances. About Donovan Wylie Donovan Wylie is an Irish photographer from Northern Ireland, based in Belfast. His work chronicles what he calls "the concept of vision as power in the architecture of contemporary conflict" – prison, army watchtowers and outposts, and listening stations – "merging documentary and art photography".
