These images are the results of chance encounters during a series of walks in Bolderaja, a largely Russian-speaking industrial area of Riga which was militarised during the soviet occupation.

Over three days in late November 2013, members of the public were asked to remotely photograph themselves and momentarily act out their everyday realities whilst continuing the situations in which they were encountered.

Set against new and yet to be completed housing developments, industrial estates, local businesses and suburban landscapes, these self-portraits highlight the roles the individuals play and the pleasures they experience in the public realm.
