At Dusk (1993) consists of 13 panoramic photographs, tinted with blue ink. The photographs remind us of the second World War. It is a dark and dramatic depiction about some of the artist's personal recollections of the war, during which Mikhailov was evacuated to the Ural. He remembers being brutally woken up in the middle of the night by wailing sirens. The dark blue tints refer to these traumatic experiences and also to the capitalist system that was rapidly taking control of his post-communist country at the time he made the series. At Dusk is one of Mikhailov's most striking body of work. (text taken from actuphoto).
