"Naked, intimate and carefree

Rimaldas Viksraitis is best known for his intimate documentary photographs of rural life in Lithuania. They depict with humour the 'ease' of the customary laid back alcohol use in the daily lives of the people portrayed, which are in fact far from funny. Viksraitis himself says about his subject matter: 'They bear their cross and do not grumble about their fate.' If you have nothing, and there is no hope of improving your mere existence, then you at least have your body at your disposal. Travelling on his bicycle, Viksraitis takes artistic, uncomplicated and carefree nude photographs. For in the field, the open air, naked, everyone is the same.

Martin Parr said about these pictures: 'They are slightly insane and wonderfully surreal.'"

Copies have a few small dents at edges and lightly bumped corners.









Rasen Kaigan / Album
Photographs by Lieko Shiga
$133.00 SALE $106.40
Purchase Book

"It is hard to decide if the series of photographs included in this big and heavy book are pushing me to include it in this list. Certainly one of the strongest works I have seen this year as every single image stands alone, but the book is also very well edited and manages to add even more mystery to the initial troubling astonishment that the series produces. Definitely a must have." --Christina De Middel

Shrinkwrapped copies with light bumped corners and some small mars to edges.
