Anton Lange's photo album The Range. The Caucasus from Sea to Sea to be presented at the Red Square Book Festival
At 12:30 on Sunday, June 5, the Regions Pavilion will be hosting a presentation of the unique photo album titled The Range. The edition is the first tangible outcome of a major photo and video project on the North Caucasus which was implemented by the celebrated Russian photographer Anton Lange in partnership with the Northern Caucasus Resorts JSC.
The Range. The Caucasus from Sea to Sea is a project covering the length of a journey along the entire northern slope of the Greater Caucasus Mountain Range from the Caspian to the Black Sea.
Known to the wide audience as the author of the legendary project Russia through a Train Window, Anton Lange will now present a comprehensive portrait of the Russian Northern Caucasus, one of Russia's most authentic regions.
"Indeed, what other place in our country can rival the Caucasus in terms of emotional intensity? It can evoke both subconscious delight and apprehension in our hearts. Local sceneries take your breath away not only by the steepness of their slopes, but also by the effect of photographic grain created in real time by tenuous air, and the vibrant beauty of alpine blossom. Different areas of the Caucasus can be associated with various locations: Europe, Asia, Italy, or the Himalayas,"
says Anton Lange, the artistic director of the project.
