16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Mobile
Holy House

Hello! My name is Sergey Chudov! I live in Syktyvkar. It is a small town in the north of Russia. And my project is dedicated to my city, its brilliance and pity. The contrast between poverty and wealth in my city of a foreigner acquires a caricature scale. These photos reflect the modern life of Russia, an incredible contrast between poverty and wealth, which lives next door. These photos are specially made on a mobile phone to emphasize the everydayness of the abyss.
