In the continuity of a long-standing commitment, Alexandra de Viveiros gallery is privileged to present at Photo London Art Fair seven artists belonging to the Kharkiv School of Photography, Ukraine.
At the moment, some of those artists continue doing photography in the city of Kharkiv heavily bombarded by the Russian army. Others managed to leave Ukraine taking just thin folders of works that the gallery shows at its booth.
Since the mid-70s, artists of the Kharkiv School treat the photography in an unconventional way, developing a personal aesthetic by defying the social taboos of the representation. Their experiments created an iconography that went against the codes of social realism glorifying the repressive state. They show the reality of everyday life as well as the fragility of bodies often depicted naked, disobeying the official prohibitions.
