#Rafał Milach #7 Rooms 

“7 Rooms” was published by Kehrer Verlag, in an edition of 900 copies, including 100 copies, which are signed and numbered with a 13x18cm signed print. Ania Nałęcka (Tapir Book Design), who designed already “Black Sea of Concrete”, was responsible for the design and the text is by Svetlana Alexievich.

Over the course of six years, Rafał Milach photographed seven young Russians through Moscow, Yekaterinburg and Krasnoyarsk, and became drawn to the “people, food, drunkenness, taxi music and landscape.” Curator Liza Faktor describes Rafał Milach’s subjects as “in their 30s, they are intermediates between the ineradicable Soviet mentality and the increasingly anxious Russian mind of today. Rafał Milach’s search is the kind which is almost impossible to visualize. And yet, what he has here, in this book, is a fascinating and subtle journey into the loss of direction, into the sad and beautiful connection with our country. 

„Milach’s search is the kind which is almost impossible to visualize. And yet, what he has here, is a fascinating and subtle journey into the loss of direction, into the sad and beautiful connection with your country.” - Liza Faktor, Founding Director Objectiv Reality Foundation.
