Katia Kapovich creates a gallery of narrative portraits that are both unheroic and unforgettable - mute children, laundering women, Moldovan homosexuals, beggars, pickpockets, peasants, Israeli Bedouins, Russian draftees, Soviet boy scouts, political convicts, all at home in Dostoyevskian, borderline worlds. She documents the great beauty that can emerge from marginalized existence.
