SASHA BEZZUBOV
On Everest
October 11-November 9th, 2025
Reception Saturday, October 11th, 4-6
“On Everest” is a series of portraits and landscapes by photographer Sasha Bezzubov, created during multiple treks through Nepal’s Everest region between 2016 and 2024. Throughout these journeys, Bezzubov documented the often-overlooked lives of porters—men and women hired to carry supplies across the region’s steep, unforgiving terrain. His images reveal a class of people who are ever-present yet largely invisible, forming the backbone of Nepal’s tourism industry while receiving little recognition or compensation for their dangerous labor. This series continues Bezzubov’s long-standing exploration of tourism and its impact in the developing world, a focus that began with his 1997 project, “The Gringo Project.”
