“Kanikulõ / Holiday by Maxim Mjödov (1983) is a photo project, which was put together from the negatives of an abandoned family album found next to a trash bin. It portrays the recreational time of an unknown Soviet-Estonian family around the 1950s and 1960s. This project introduces documentary photography in a most comprehensible form for a broader audience – through a family album, while offering people the opportunity to experience the magic of analogue photography through Maxim Mjödov’s technical mastery.
