"The Sand People of Schoina" is an impressive non-fiction book that sheds light on the history of the fishing village of Schoina in the Russian Arctic. Once a thriving port, this village is now threatened with disappearance as the sand slowly buries it. Photographers Dominique de Rivaz and Dmitri Leltschuk embarked on a journey to the far north to capture the beauty and misery of this unique place. Their photographs, presented in a lyrical and contemplative style, illustrate the effects of the ecological disaster left behind by the Soviet Union. Accompanying texts recount the challenges faced by the residents and reflect on the relentless power of nature. This book is not only a visual journey but also a poignant appeal to listen to and understand the stories of people in forgotten places.
