In Vicinity

The photographic series In Vicinity depicts new suburban development areas near Tallinn, Estonia. Shot entirely within a 5-kilometer radius of where I grew up I have tried to document the results of the vast change from former agricultural farming lands to new housing developments in the 2000s. I believe that upon close inspection this deformed landscape can reveal something essential about the culture that produces the desire to live this way. The recent economic downfall has, of course, left some peoples’ desires unfulfilled.
