In his photographs, Dieter Seitz narrates a journey that begins in
the original nomad's land and ends in the cities of Kazakhstan, the
homeland of today's urban nomads. Seitz is interested in the lives
of people involved in the cultural interplay between East and West;
between the Soviet Era and the new Kazakhstan; between revitalized
folklore and the modern, consumer world. Impressions of
still-visible devastation from the crisis years after 1991 can be
found next to sensitive portraits; the many facets of this country
full of various peoples of more than one hundred ethnicities are
palpable in this volume. With a subjective eye, Seitz's photographs
measure continuity, decay, and the comeback of a post-Soviet
society, impressively tracing the cultural topography of one of the
largest transformational societies in the heart of Eurasia. An
essay by Markus Kaiser outlines the socio-cultural backgrounds of
the development in Kazakhstan, right at the geopolitical
intersection between Europe and Asia.
