Klavdij Sluban won the European Publishers Award for Photography 2009, for his book Transsibériades. The book, from publishers ActesSud, appeared simultaneously in five European countries in October. An exhibition of photographs from the new book is showing at Galerie Taiss, 5 rue Debelleyme, 75003 Paris, from 6 November until 23 December 2009. See a preview of the work here in Lens Culture. A poetic, philiopsophical essay about the work is provided in French, plus an English translation.


Sluban is also the subject of our first video interview with photographers, in which he talks about another long-term project of his, conducting workshops with teenagers imprisoned in jails around the world.
