In the 17th year after the publication of Imperium we will have had the opportunity to see an exhibition of the photographs that emerged in the years 1989–1991 and that were the fruit of Ryszard Kapuściński's travels around the republics of the former USSR. These photographs up until now have not been exposed except for the few that found their way into the album From the World. They were found two years ago in Kapuściński's private album. From the manner in which the material was segregated and the selection of the photographs one can presume that he was thinking about an exhibition about Imperium.
