The Other Side of the River

2009 — ongoing · Riga

Portraits of people living across the Daugava, away from Riga’s renovated centre.

Begun in 2009, the series follows residents of Riga on the other side of the river. It extends Inta Ruka’s patient attention to the city’s peripheral neighbourhoods, courtyards and gardens.
