Notes from Russia - Alexei Plutser-Sarno [KSIĄŻKA]

This is a portrait of the Russian street told through its public notices. They are pasted on everything - still or moving - notes for missing persons, love letters, political statements, job offers, complaints, and warnings. Their authors are the country's underclass made visible. The folklorist and lexicographer Alexei Plutser-Sarno, has collected these street notices for over twenty years. Published here for the first time, his collection tells an alternative story of recent Russian culture. Designed as part of the acclaimed Russian series of books, and printed on an unusual mix of white and brown craft paper. A moving and vital contribution to the documentation of vernacular graphics.
