My favorite picture is a picture taken by Jonas Bendiksen in his work of Russia and the forgotten places of the ex URSS, this picture is the cover of his book “Satellites: Photographs of the Former Soviet Union, 2006”. Jonas Bendiksen is a Norwegian photographer and journalist that travels around the world taking pictures of isolated communities, he became fascinated by the history of the rupture of the Sovietic Union a process that seems still going on, he wants to express the life of "real people living a phantom existence” in his words, some of these territories don’t appear in the map yet, and still the people don’t figure out what  their identities as a nation is, they still struggle to get their own identities that was removed and substituted long time ago. In this picture we can see two farmers on a fallen rocket in the middle of the farm, surrounded by butterflies.
