Sergey Borisov

The nice folks at The Guardian published this slide show previewing an exhibition in London entitled Glasnost: Soviet Nonconformist Art. It includes the following three photographs:

Catwalk (1987).

Glasnost and Perestroika (1986).

Dialogue (1983).

All three are by (and, to the best of my knowledge, still under © to) Sergey Borisov. They clearly share a common ironic sensibility that appeals to me. But I've not been able to find out much at all about Borisov. This seems odd and likely is attributable to my own inabilities. Help?
