Viktor Ivanovich Morozov

Viktor Ivanovich Morozov, at 47, has spent most of his life in this truck-stop town on the Trans-Siberian Highway, managing the tiny morgue that serves as a crossroads for the living and the dead. An unassuming night owl, Viktor finds solace in the solitude of his duties, blending compassion with his detail-oriented approach to mortuary work. Known by the local community not only as the caretaker of the departed but also as a friend to every stray dog in town, he channels his observations of decay and preservation into his offbeat art practice.
