The gallery presents the works of four photographers of Kharkiv School, a phenomenon evolved since 1970s in Ukraine, and seeks to highlight their profoundly experimental approach to treating the medium, merged with singular personal aesthetics.
Oleksandr Suprun is known for his analogue collages created in 1974-1997. Addressing the topics typical for Soviet iconography, he subverted them by depicting often vulnerable elders and kids photographed secretly on the streets. Rare original cut-outs shall demonstrate the laborious nature of his technique.
Viktor and Sergiy Kochetov transgressed the reportage canon capturing uneventful scenes of daily life and accentuating them with deliberately naïve gesture of hand-colouring.
More recent series of the Shilo group (Vladyslav Krasnoshchok and Sergiy Lebedynskyy) are related to “healing” procedures. Using anachronistic technique of homemade lith-print on expired paper, the artists revise the School’s tradition of attentiveness to the materiality of the photography.
