Desperate to see the world, the photographer Harry Gruyaert left Antwerp for Paris in the early 1960s, in his twenties, and is best known for his colour images of Morocco, Egypt and India. On his visits home to Belgium, however, he found himself caught off guard by the unexpected beauty of suburban life, which he hadn’t noticed in his younger years. Influenced by pop art, he began to photograph carnivals, religious processions and parades in his home country in vibrant colour.

Years Like Water is a decade-long look at a small Russian village, its inhabitants, ramshackle institutions, nature, and mythology. The series loosely follows the lives of four interconnected families – the children growing up unsupervised in a magical wilderness, whilst the adults struggle for survival. Over more than ten years of visits, Sablin attended birthdays and funerals, drank tea with the grandmothers, and listened to stories of the villagers’ loneliness and love for one another.
