Gulnara Kasmalieva and Muratbek Djumaliev live and work together in Bishek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, a country which has been at the centre of change and protest since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
As a result their work offers a complex insight into modern Russia and Central Asia.
In one five channel installation they examine how economic and political unrest has changed the value of goods on the Great Silk Road, causing many to flee the country.
