Unsettled City is a dark photographic essay on the encounter between a human and a restless metropolis. The book is a personal depiction of a claustrophobic environment with the cityscape as framework, captured in Saint Petersburg and Moscow over a period of ten years.

“Unsettled City is one of those books that I picked up and in about four or five flips of the page knew that I needed to have. I believe it is the first publication by Frøslev and he has done a wonderful job editing and sequencing and bringing out the darkness and all the fun that happens behind closed doors in what appears to often be cold and dark nights.” – Todd Hido
