Milk Made: “The Sochi Project: An Atlas of War and Tourism in the Caucasus.”

A documentary photo-story on the Sochi Winter Olympic Games was highlighted in Jamie Burke’s article published on the Milk Made online edition. Tales of corruption, violence and terrorism flow through Burke’s article, which analyses a piece by Arnold van Bruggen accompanied by an intriguing photographic introspective by photographer Rob Hornstra. The article was published in the art section of fashion media Milk Made, February 12.
