Artist living opposite the pipeline.

Bishkek -  When this man who lives opposite the pipeline finds seven women with cameras on his yard, he inmediately invites us in. We turn down his invitation in a friendly way. But he insists to show his artworks. Tulips for a lady from the Netherlands! This man lives in a very simple house under poor conditions together with three slim and barking dogs . The city is layered. From the Mira prospect (Peace boulevard) to this parallel road we first see the Casino’s, Disco’s shoppingmalls on the big street. Then there are some streets with villa’s (my guesthouse), followed by some appartment buildings. At the fringe we see the small single houses with toilets outside.
