About Restricted Areas

Winner of the 2015 European Publishers Award For Photography. This project is about the human impulse towards utopia, about our striving for perfection through technological progress. "I traveled in search of places which used to hold great importance for the idea of technological progress. These places are now deserted. They have lost their significance, along with their utopian ideology which is now obsolete. Many of these places were once secret cities, that did not even appear on any maps or public records. Any progress comes to its end earlier or later, what's interesting for me is to witness what remains after." (Danila Tkachenko) So, Tkachenko (b. 1989 in Moscow) studied documentary photography at The Rodchenko Moscow School of Photography and Multimedia. His work has been exhibited internationally. He has won the Lensculture Exposure award and also the European Publishers Award for Photography in 2015, Magnum's 30 under 30 in 2014. As well as the World Press Photo Award 2013. He was shortlisted for the Leica Oskar Barnack Award last year. He then published his first book Escape in 2014.
