Things Fall Apart
Sasha Bezzubov has photographed the scenes of natural disasters all over the world. He visited Indonesia and Thailand soon after the tsunami. What he encountered there corresponded with his previous experiences: the immense forces of nature had changed the area into a surrealistic, apocalyptic landscape. Survivors wandered around vacantly, in search of their possessions. Bezzubov got the feeling that he had landed in a futuristic doom scenario. He imagined himself to be one of the last witnesses to the end of the world. He made Things Fall Apart (2004) in the style of traditional landscape photography, a picture of a future in which nature takes revenge for everything that mankind has done to it.
