So Cliché

So Cliché by Alexander Bondar is based on his own photos manipulated in Photoshop with the help of a stamp instrument. The images in the book are the result of the author's endeavor to "improve" photographs, that he didn't find "good enough” as they were. He started doing this in 2009 and the most recent picture was manipulated by him this year.
This naive and in a way humorous approach adds another layer to the surreal post-soviet world that the author invites us to peek in.
By the title author refers to primitivity of somewhat obvious and overused technique.
