Photographs
Boikov and Tursunov point out the state’s role in the ethnicization and exclusion of minorities, which goes back to the Soviet era and continues to this day. In allusion to the identification photos from the gulags, the artists present themselves as being registered in police or secret service files and labeled "different" and members of a minority by means of the Uzbek cap.
