January 18 at 17 o'clock in the Small Gallery of the Art Arsenal photographer, member of the Ukrainian Association of Professional Photographers Mykhailo Palinchak will present a selection of photos called “Highlights”. Houses destroyed by air bombs, torture sites of executions and mass burials in Kherson, Izyum, Bucha, Yagidny and at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant — all 42 pictures were taken from the beginning of the full-scale invasion.
“This exhibition is about the fight against the darkness that is trying to envelop our country,” Mykhailo explains.
The peculiarity of the pictures is that they were all taken with a flash.
“The flash exposes the process of photography: hands holding weapons, preparing food, painting trophy equipment, being outlined and put on public view. Here and now, in a moment that drags on and turns into doom. Photographs do not absorb reality, do not anesthetize it,” writes writer and radio host about Palinchak's photos Olena Guseynova.
The exhibition in Kyiv will last until February 25, 2024. Opening hours: Wednesday — Sunday from 12:00 to 19:00. Entrance is free.
Also snapshots Palinchak will travel to Brussels on January 25. Earlier, part of the works of his main series had already been presented in Italy as part of a group exhibition.
