Kamila Rustambekova is a documentary photographer and filmmaker based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, born in 1998. Her work focuses on the complexities of modern Uzbek society, exploring the working and living conditions of locals as well as the boundaries of self-expression and societal taboos faced by the youth.
Here, she documents the hard seasonal work and living conditions of melon and peanut growers in Farish, in the Jizzakh region. Playing on the similarity of words and the contrast of lifestyles, Kamila Rustembekova has given the name ‘Paris’ to the series from which this image is taken.
