The Moscow-based photography collective Troyka opened their first solo exhibition in the small hall of the Artplay Design Center on Saturday. The exhibition brings together 30 photographs and 3 videos culled from different series that they have worked on over the past few years.

The collective, which describes its work as ethnographical research, comprises the photographers Olga Rodina, Anastasia Soboleva and Lena Tsibizova. Here, they share some of their photographs with The Moscow Times.
