More on Alexander Khimushin (see yesterday's post):
Alexander Khimushin is an adventurer, ethno-photographer, and global citizen who has captivated audiences worldwide with his epic photo project, The World in Faces. With a nomadic spirit and a deep yearning for adventure, Alexander has spent the last 15 years of his life traversing the globe, visiting a staggering 98 countries and immersing himself in the diverse Indigenous cultures he encounters.
“One of my grandfathers was Ukrainian from Kyrgyzstan, while the other was Russian from Bessarabia. I was born in Yakutia, the coldest region of Siberia, a remote part of the USSR, a country that no longer exists. When the USSR collapsed, we became part of Russia, although Yakutia and its people are like aliens from another planet compared to Moscow and its inhabitants. Later in my life, I moved to Australia and now based in Thailand. However, I have always felt a strong connection to my Siberian roots. So, who am I then? Being a citizen of the world is something I have always been fascinated by”
