Books & Zines
Created by Andrey Gordasevich in 2014-2025
Some of these books are included in the collections of the Multimedia Art Museum in Moscow, the PhotoVisa Festival of Photography, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the European House of Photography in Bratislava, and various private collections.
As a physical object, a book gives you an experience of feeling the stories in a way which cannot be delivered online.

I’ve always loved books and produced a number in recent years. Some editions had up to 1000 copies, some other were artist books with just a few copies available.

In this section I share them with you and provide you with the links to order them. I tried to create the real world experience by photographing the books in simple light — like you would see them on your table.

Don’t hesitate to message me if you have interest in books and want to know any special detail — it’s always great to chat with book lovers. Or maybe you feel that you have some great content and you want me to make a story out of it? Let’s make a book together.

Taste of Place
(2024, EN/DE)

Burundian coffee from farm to cup. From the heart of Africa to the cup on your coffee table: Taste of place highlights a product that is central to both Burundi and Switzerland. The book with photos by Andrey Gordasevich traces the extraordinary journey of Burundian coffee as it makes its way from the farm to the washing station, from the port to the roastery, and finally to your kitchen or local café. It is a story of resilience, commitment, and passion – and the many ways in which coffee connects the world.

Playing with Time
(2018, EN/RU)
"Playing with Time" is a photographic story about people who re-enact the Napoleonic wars, who attempt to reconstruct the past as closely as possible, trying to conceal all traces of modern times. The Battle of Borodino took place in 1812, and the world's first photographs were taken in 1826. I was fascinated by the idea that it was impossible to describe the battle through photography. So I created a story about a reconstruction of the battle in order to show how modern life overlaps with the past. In some of the photographs, time has been cleansed away, while other shots are "contaminated" with contemporary objects.

Quickgold
(2017, EN)

"Quickgold" is a story about the origin of gold as a symbol of wealth and its connection to human labor, condition and identity. It is based on daily life of people involved in gold mining and processing in Peruvian jungle in Madre de Dios province, but it also has a broader meaning. The word "quickgold" is a derivative from "quicksilver", or mercury, used in gold processing.


"Quickgold" project united a Russian photographer Andrey Gordasevich and a Swiss sociologist Nils Krauer.
