Born in Slovakia and living in Vienna, photographer Evelyn Bencicova captures life under a socialist regime for her series ‘Asymptote‘. The project was realized in cooperation with art director Adam Csoka Keller. In her work, which we’ve featured before, the 22-year-old focuses on the conceptual and visual aspect of photography. The compelling images show people wearing identical masks in symmetric formations and a cold architectural environment.
