Russian Market
Timeline of market life from early morning to closing
Shot of a street in the Russian Market at every hour of the day.
This aisle where we find mainly fresh products changes greatly during the hours of the day.
The street is very quickly blocked during rush hour because the inhabitants have invented a concept of "Drive Market"where they stop by scooter at each stand to do their daily shopping.
The last images are quite telling and highlight the waste problem in the country. Sellers systematically add plastic bags very often unnecessarily, we quickly find them everywhere. Every evening, the square is then littered with bottles and plastic bags. People trying to make a living from reselling this stuff spend their days (and/or nights) picking up litter all over town. This waste management and the laborious work of these people are sad scenes to witness when we know the impact of such consumption and this leads us to be even more attentive to it.
