Warm and witty, Locusts is a book of photographs that, in the words of its creator, Sasha Gusov, ‘pulls together the concept of mass mentality – photographs that examine the way people eat, the tourist eternally behind the camera, the obsession with consumerism … an investigation of contemporary man – who we are, who we have become and how absurd we can be at times.’ The outcome of five years of work and observation around the world, these brief snatches and moments are a true representation of what humanity does when it thinks that no one is looking.
