Info

A winter journey: The photographer Jacob Aue Sobol has been doing a lot of travelling. He has taken the Trans Siberian Railway through Russia, Mongolia and China three times, and most recently a car trip from his small Danish home town of Brøndby all the way to Moscow. It is not the places he is drawn to, but rather the brief and close encounters he has with strangers along the way before moving on to the next destination.
