“Yesterday’s Sandwich” was made in the late 60s and early 70s. “Sandwich” in this case, means the technique of creating a new picture by overlaying two slides. Boris Mikhailov creates with this technique, an extraordinary double world of Soviet drudgery Juxtaposed with sex and beauty.
In the earlier years, Boris Mikhailov was just able to show this body of work in slideshows, because at this time, paper was too expensive. Just in the early 90s he managed to print his work on paper. The first edition was formed of 52 colour tableaux printed on separate unbound boards and enclosed within a specially created folder and slip case.
The new edition was published 2009 by Phaidon, in a hardbound format. You can get a copy directly by Phaidon.

“This was a period of hidden meanings and coded messages in all genres,” Mikhailov writes in the essay accompanying the book. “Given the scarcity of real news, everyone was on the lookout for the smallest piece of new information, hoping to uncover a secret or read between the lines. Encryption was the only way to explore forbidden subjects such as politics, religion, nudity.”
Here is a nice short video, where Boris Mikhailov explains some pictures of his series.
