Showcase: Trouble on the Line – Lens

“Pipe Dreams: A Chronicle of Lives Along the Pipeline,” a new book by the 32-year-old Azerbaijini photographer Rena Effendi, effectively brings an 1,100-mile-long underground pipeline into the light of the day. With a grant from Getty Images, she traveled along its route, from Baku, Azerbaijan; through Tbilisi, Georgia; to Ceyhan, Turkey. She found a collapsing Soviet-era infrastructure and refugees living hopelessly among ruins and decay.
