Boris Mikhaïlov

Now considered one of the most influential contemporary artists in Eastern Europe, Boris Mikhaïlov has been developing an experimental photographic work around social and political subjects for over 50 years. His practice is situated at the borders of documentary photography, conceptual work, painting and performance. Since the 1960s, he has been reflecting on the upheavals that accompanied the collapse of the Soviet Union and the consequences, in Ukraine, of its dissolution. Conceived in close collaboration with the artist, the exhibition presents some twenty of his most important series.
