Ukrainian photographer Valentyn Odnoviun, who is based in Vilnius, Lithuania, has spent the beyond few years developing snap shots of the spy holes in the prison mobile doorways and the solitary strolling yards of former prisoners of the KGB.

It?S an fascinating collection that leaves lots to the imagination of the viewer, which is Odnoviun?S objective: ?To create a greater concrete verbal exchange with the help of interpretation and conceptual wondering?.
