Klavdij Sluban is an established French photographer of Slovenian origin based in Paris. His new book ‘East to East’ brings together photographs that he has made during extensive travels in the East, frequently following the route of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Sluban’s use of deep blacks and backlit silhouettes embues his work with a highly individual photographic style. These powerful images are remarkably moody and atmospheric and permeated with a strange melancholy and an overwhelming sense of isolation. This is deeply memorable work.
