Russian Criminal Tattoo Archive: Fuel
Autor Danzig Baldaev, Sergei Vasilev, Arkady Bronnikov, Mark Vincent, Fuel Editat de Damon Murray, Stephen Sorrellen Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 apr 2023
The meticulous depictions of tattoos by prison guard Danzig Baldaev are reproduced in facsimile, authenticated by his signature and stamp, alongside his handwritten notes on the reverse. The paper has yellowed with age, giving the exquisite drawings a visceral temporality - almost like skin.
Sergei Vasiliev's photographs portray inmates in startling intimacy. He achieves a remarkable level of trust within the closed criminal society, a strict hierarchy, where outsiders are viewed with hostile suspicion.
Arkady Bronnikovs collection of photographs are shown in the albums in which they were collected. Used exclusively to aid police in their investigations, they depict a motley line-up of assorted body parts.
This unique book is the only publication of primary material on this subject, highlighting the pioneering methods of these three individuals used to document this unique phenomenon.
