Hyperborea: Stories from the Arctic Collector's Edition
Evgenia Arbugaeva

Hyperborea presents unforgettable visual tales of life in the Siberian Arctic that Evgenia Arbugaeva knew when she was growing up in Tiksi, a town on the shore of the Laptev Sea in the Republic of Yakutia. Her work discloses both the fragility and wondrous desolation of the land and those who inhabit it. Her meticulously composed photographs glow with otherworldly colour, bristle with the raw vibrancy of the elements and exhibit the quiet intensity of lives borne out in seclusion and extremity.

This beautifully produced photobook contains a decade of work, with photographs selected from across the full range of Arbugaeva’s series and extensive travels across the Siberian Arctic coast. The photographs that she brings back from these remote and inhospitable places convey a world where everything seems connected: humans and nature, the sky and the land, a territory under existential threat from a multitude of environmental changes.

Available for shipping now, this is a very limited collector’s edition, with an exclusive signed print, available only on Volume. With an introduction by Piers Vitebsky, four texts by Arbugaeva and a specially commissioned map to provide a sense of where Arbugaeva’s work is located, Hyperborea is for the more discerning photobook fans and a global introduction of a very special talent in the world of photography.
