For five years before 2005 Jonas Bendiksen spent a great deal of his time exploring the periphery of the former Soviet Union, traveling in isolated territories coloured by unrest and restructuring problems following the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991. There was little Moscow could do to hinder the emergence of fifteen autonomous states. But the transition to a new social order was far from easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia and the eastern part of Serbia Bendiksen found outposts where people had to redefine themselves in relation to a new historical, religious and ideological reality. Mixed results have ensued; bloody internal conflicts, isolated pariah states, self-constructed versions of capitalism and depopulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Satellites <\/em>exhibition recounts stories from six places which existed under the world\u2019s radar, but which together represent unfinished chapters in the history of the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n\n\n
