Photographs by Rimaldis Viksraitis. Rimaldas Viksraitis (born 1954) cycles around the desolate farms of his native Lithuania with a camera tied to his bike. The resulting photographs expose the post-Soviet disintegration of village life, against a funny-sad backdrop of perennial drunkenness and buffoonery. The book's images were selected by famed photographer Martin Parr, who describes Viksraitis' works as "slightly insane and wonderfully surreal." Publisher's Description: "Rimaldas Viksraitis is a Lithuanian photographer who works in and around the villages where he lives, and photographs a way of life that is fast disappearing. In his world, any apparent dysfunctionality, propelled by liberal drinking of home brew, appears to be an asset because people seem to be having such a great time. He goes to parties, he sits and drinks and talks with his subjects. Their lives are not overcome by the gadgets of modern day life, which so often eradicate any meaningful communications between families
