"Crossings" is a photographic project and a photobook by Andrey Gordasevich (www.gordasevich.ru), where he mixes portraits and city fragments from contemporary St.Petersburg with some found objects from the past – postcards, letters, drawings, maps, old photographs and others, showing the crossing of times and of people's paths. Each portrait is accompanied by a micro-text about the meeting of the author with this person, showing the viewer how different the city inhabitants are and how a photographer occasionally snaps small, but valuable fragments of their daily lives.
