This extraordinary work, captured between 2005 and 2019, challenges the conventional narrative of East versus West and offers a striking visual exploration of life in post-industrial America and Russia. 

Through his lens, Murphy uncovers unexpected similarities between the two nations. It forces us to question our assumptions and rethink geopolitical divides, prompting a fundamental question: are the lives shaped by such immense power really all that different? Can we even distinguish between them in a set of photographs? With its deliberate sequencing—U.S., Russia, U.S., Russia—Murphy’s work disorients and engages the viewer, and it becomes easy to lose one’s bearings.
