The image should speak for itself. Absolute silence would be ideal here. Any commentary overwhelms and distorts the image. But people, as a rule, are not satisfied with an image alone: they need text, commentary, discourse. However, there is also a reciprocal relationship between image and text. They are in constant interaction. At first it is rejection, mutual exclusion, then comes a kind of companionship.

Through Misha’s exciting series of photographs, we can take a look at the lives of groups of people living in isolation on distant steppes, adventuring in space and time with the authenticity of documentary photography.
The faces and quiet melancholic moods of man flashing in a prehistoric environment are thought-provoking, the photographer’s personal visions in our rapidly globalizing world.
