Russian Criminal Tattoo Police Files Volume I features more than 180 photographs of Russian criminal tattoos and official police papers from the collection of Arkady Bronnikov, regarded as Russia’s foremost authority on criminal tattoo iconography. From the mid-1960s to the late 1980s, Bronnikov worked as a senior expert in criminalistics at the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs, and part of his duties involved visiting the correctional institutions of the Ural and Siberia regions. It was there that he interviewed convicts, gathering information and taking photographs of their tattoos, amassing one of the most comprehensive archives of this phenomenon. Bronnikov regularly helped to solve criminal cases across Russia by using his collection of tattoos to identify culprits and corpses.
Selections from Bronnikov’s collection, which includes more than 900 photographs, will be published by Fuel in two volumes. The Bronnikov collection was made exclusively for police use, to further the understanding of the language of these tattoos and to act as an aid in the identification and apprehension of criminals in the field. Unimpeded by artistic aspirations, these amazing vernacular photographs present a seemingly straightforward representation of criminal society.
Every image discloses evidence of an inmate’s character: aggressive, vulnerable, melancholic, conceited. The prisoners’ bodies display an unofficial history waiting to be deciphered, told not just through tattoos, but also in scars and missing digits. Yet close inspection seems only to make the language of the tattoos more baffling and incredible, pointing to the unimaginable lives of this previously unacknowledged caste.

Masala mama : En introduktion till det bengaliska köket
Curry! Ni äter väl mycket curry? Det är en fråga jag fick under min uppväxt i Sverige, och jag svarade något förvirrat nej – för den gräddbaserade ljusa curryn i skolan var något helt annat än de rätter jag åt hemma. Nu 20 år senare har jag förstått att många svenskar faktiskt inte har den […]

Var vid gott mod : En bok om konstnären fröken Märta Måås-Fjetterström
Abbedissan kallades hon av somliga. Andra sade att hon hörde till tidens stora fröknar. Märkeskvinna sade en tredje. Säkert är att textilkonstnären Märta Måås-Fjetterström ritade mattor som fortfarande nästan 80 år efter hennes död säljs för sexsiffriga belopp på världens auktionshus. Hon var stor redan under sin livstid. Riktigt stor. Ändå brändes alla brev, foton, […]
