EDITORS COMMENTS
Evdokia Zotina: A Defiant Gaze from Exile, 1893 This haunting black-and-white photograph captures the unwavering gaze of Evdokia Zotina, an exiled convict, as she faces the camera with a steely determination. Taken by renowned Russian photographer AK Keppel in 1893, this image is part of a collection of over four hundred photographs documenting daily life in Yenisei Province during the late Tsarist period. The oval-shaped, mugshot-style portrait shows Zotina in profile, her head and shoulders framed against an exterior backdrop of a barren, rocky landscape. The stark contrast between the harsh environment and the softness of her features adds to the poignancy of her image. Dressed in the simple clothing of a peasant, her hair pulled back into a bun, Zotina's direct gaze challenges the viewer, defying the stigma of her criminal past. As an exile, Zotina was banished from her homeland, likely for committing a crime. Her sentence would have sent her to the far reaches of the Russian Empire, such as Siberia, where she would have faced a harsh and unforgiving climate. The image of Zotina, taken during her exile, serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure adversity and maintain a sense of dignity. This photograph, taken in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, Russia, is a powerful testament to the meeting of frontiers - the boundary between the known and the unknown, the civilized and the wild, the free and the incarcerated. The image is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the lives of ordinary people during the 19th century and the harsh realities of the Russian legal system during the Tsarist era.
