First edition

Thirty years of travel and encounters along a Russian river, where Claudine Doury captures the evolution of landscapes, generations, and traditions.

Amour diaries photographer Claudine Doury thirty year quest along the banks of the Amur River in Russia. She journeyed along its banks in 1991, 1997 and 2018, making images that meet together in this book. As generations pass, the surroundings of the river shift and the traditions of the Siberian-descended people – wither.

During her ‘odyssey’, the ties Claudine Doury patiently wove with the families and landscapes around the river translated into powerful and timeless images. Amour brings together her black and white and colour photographs with archival images, and reveals the photographer’s intimate and sensitive relationship with this territory and its history.

‘All they know is that in winter people arrive from the far north on reindeers to buy some bread, but not even the old men know what sort of people they are or where they come from.’

Anton Chekhov, The Island: A journey to Sakhalin, Washington Square Press, 1967

Claudine Doury (born in 1959 in Blois) lives and works mainly in Paris. After studying journalism, she first worked for agencies before becoming a photographer in 1989. At the intersection of reality and fiction, her work deals with notions of memory and transition, particularly around adolescence and travel, which are central themes in her work. She is represented by Galerie in Camera and the Vu agency, both in Paris.
