Most of the photographs in this collection are from my fieldwork in Kazakhstan from 2009 to 2015. They include several images from the archives, as well as those of rural and urban life. My goal is to give a sense of the overlapping histories in Kazakhstan, where the Soviet past remains entranched in the present. Here you will find photographs of the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site, as well as the village of Koyan located on the test site  border and where I also work.
