From the favelas of Rio to Armenia in the United States, and more recently in Siberia, the notions of humanity, identity and society are at the heart of my work.<strong> It is above all the human relationships that inspire and passionate me.</strong></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>&nbsp;In 2017, I published <strong>my first book &quot;FAUBOURG TREME&quot;</strong>, published by <strong>Editions Andr&eacute; Fr&egrave;re</strong>, on my long&shy;term project in New Orleans. This book is now sold in many institutions around the world such as the <strong>Tate Modern in London, the Beaubourg Museum in Paris and the McNally Jackson Bookstore in New York.</strong></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>It has been published in magazines such as <strong>National G&eacute;ographique, Der Spiegel, Vanity Fair, T&eacute;l&eacute;rama, Grazia, Vogue, NZZ and Lib&eacute;ration.</strong> It seemed essential to me to take it to the next level by completing this second major personal project in Yakutia</li> </ul> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/627181/PORTRAIT-1572353151.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>WHY THE YAKUTIA?</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>This work is the result of a project carried out between<strong> 2017&shy;-2019 </strong>in Yakutia, a region located in eastern Siberia. The book traces my journey from Yakutsk, the coldest city in the world, through the gulag road&nbsp;to Sacha, <strong>a reindeer herder in search of freedom and independence living alone in the middle of the Tundra.</strong></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>If Russia has always attracted me, it is probably because of my family history. <strong>My grandfather, Richard Jeranian, </strong>was a painter, and one of the first artists of his generation to travel to Moscow in 1957, before exhibiting in 1980 in Novosibirsk, Siberia. <strong>The stories of his travels in this faraway and strange country accompanied my childhood, and excited me to discover it.</strong></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p style="text-align:center"><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/627045/PAPI_CADRE_PETIT-1572287346.jpg" width="100%" /><em>Photo of my grandfather Richard Jeranian in his Parisian workshop in 1978.</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>After the terrible earthquake that devastated Armenia in 1988, a branch far from my family <strong>emigrated to Siberia to escape poverty. </strong>They have settled in Yakutsk, as have many minorities such as Kyrgyz and Uzbeks. <strong>Yakutia, in fact, is a very rich region full of gold mines, gas and oil diamonds. </strong>The Yakuts say that <em>&quot;when God flew over Yakutia on a</em> <em>winter&#39;s day, his hands froze and he let all his treasures escape&quot;.</em></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>When I learned that <strong>I had a distant family there,</strong> I naturally chose Yakutsk. The climate is hostile to humans: <strong>it is one of the coldest inhabited places on the panet, where winter temperatures reach &shy;60&deg;C.</strong></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/627050/PHOTO_DE_FAMILLE-1572288719.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p style="text-align:center"><em>Photo of my family in Yakutsk on Lenin Square</em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Yakutsk is, cities built on permafrost. <strong>If the temperature rises even a little too much, the ice can melt and cause a dramatic collapse</strong> of the permafrost and everything it carries, including roads, homes and lakes.</li> </ul> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/627164/SACHA__14_sur_20_-1572352658.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/627166/SACHA__19_sur_20_-1572352672.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>However, Russia is warming at an estimated <strong>2.5 times faster than the rest of the world. </strong>Living in such conditions is synonymous with a constant struggle with nature and with oneself. <strong>What surprised me the most was this willingness to live, this instinct to survive, everything that the comfort and safety of our cities made us forget.</strong></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/627167/SACHA__11_sur_20_-1572352680.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <ul> <li>It was only after I discovered the existence of a reindeer herding community, the Evenes. At their side, <strong>I lived for several months, cut off from everything, in the middle of nothing, or rather from these vast forests called the Tundra.</strong></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/627168/SACHA__13_sur_20_-1572352687.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>SACHA, THE KING OF THE TUNDRA</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>In search of a freedom that he conceives as total independence, <strong>Sacha raises his herd of a thousand reindeer.</strong> Sacha&#39;s days are difficult, rough, wild, lonely. Sacha, in the midst of his animals, forgets that he lives cut off from the world, in the vast frozen expanses of Yakutia, in northern Siberia,<strong> in one of the areas considered to be the coldest on the planet</strong>. In such conditions, life is a battle that must be fought at all times against the elements.</li> </ul> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/627169/SACHA__18_sur_20_-1572352695.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Sacha is on her own. A knowledge acquired over a long period of time allows him to live in this environment that is hostile to humans but that he has been able to tame. <strong>Faced with the slow and inexorable transformation brought about by climate change, Sacha also knows that she is powerless.</strong></li> </ul> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/627182/SACHA__1_sur_2_-1572353166.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>CLIMATE DEREGULATION</strong></p> <ul> <li>Unfair fate, climate change is not felt directly by those who recklessly sought to subdue nature, but by those who tried to live in harmony with it. <strong>The increase in temperature (4&deg;C over the past 40 years) has had dramatic consequences on the lives of indigenous people and their animals.</strong> Nomadic herders are unaware of these measures, which quantify exactly what they experience and observe on a daily basis.</li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/627172/SACHA__8_sur_20_-1572352714.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Sacha is attached to this primitive and austere way of life, but with his appearance as the first man, how not to consider him as one of the representatives of an endangered world. <strong>Will it adapt to climate change for long?</strong></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li><strong>In this white odyssey of the Far North, Sacha seeks to know who he really is, a question that, of all things, is probably the most difficult.</strong></li> </ul> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/627174/SACHA__2_sur_20_-1572352722.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>THE TEAM</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://studiofables.com/fr">DESIGN</a>: It is <em>with joy that I am once again partnering with the Fables studio to produce</em> <em>my second book &quot;SACHA&quot;. <strong>We collaborated in 2017 on my first book &quot;FAUBOURG TREME&quot;</strong></em></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>Studio Fables is an independent graphic and digital design studio founded in Paris by <strong>Majan Dutertre, Paul Schaedelin and Laurent Tacco. </strong>They work with passion to design visual identities, printed objects, websites, animations and interactive installations.</li> </ul> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/627178/studiofables-membres-1572352989.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/627200/studiofables-faubourgtreme-01-1572269314-1572354282.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.andrefrereditions.com/">ANDR&Eacute; FR&Egrave;RE EDITION</a>: At Images En Man&oelig;uvres, Andr&eacute; Fr&egrave;re developed numerous co&shy;publications with foreign publishers and followed in particular authors such <strong>as Antoine d&#39;Agata</strong>, Anders Petersen, Vanessa Winship, Patrick Tourneb&oelig;uf, Christopher Anderson, <strong>Martin Parr,</strong> Thibaut Cuisset, Dulce Pinzon. <strong>We collaborated on my first book FAUBOURG TREME in 2017.</strong></li> </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/627198/logo_petit-1572354269.jpg" width="100%" /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>WHY?</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>This book is a project that is close to my heart and has been thought out over the long term.
