A collection of surveillance imagery, this experimental photo book by violet monsour remembers the “Russiagate” scandal of 2016 through the form of a literal gate—a play that extends to the book’s form of a 150-page accordion, each page connected seamlessly to the next. The resulting form is not unlike a gate itself.
Made on the occasion of CPW Kingston’s zine fair—August 2025.
