The essence of photography is to catch the light. This is what makes photography an art form, which is especially important in these dark times. Our mission at Fotografiskas is to support artists and ensure that their voices are heard, as well as to showcase the world's diverse palette. At a time when war is raging on the territory of Ukraine, just a few hundred kilometres from Estonia, it is time to turn our eyes towards Ukrainian photographers. We will show the work of 7 artists, men and women of different ages, experiences and backgrounds, while their lives are filled with violence. Through images and words, they tell us about their relationship with this war, their daily lives, their fears, their grief but also their hopes for the future. Our sincere thanks go to the photographers who, in these very difficult circumstances, found the time to make this project happen with us. The project was made in collaboration with Eric Schlosser, Artistic Director of the Tbilisi Art Fair. Eric has been curating and organising numerous international photo and art projects for over 15 years.<\/p>\n
We are pleased to present the work of the following photographers - Dimitri Bogachuk, Arthur Bondar, Vita Buivid, Lisa Bukreyeva, Diana Fedoriaka, Alena Grom and Xenia Petrovska. We also encourage you to visit the artists' personal pages to see their other works. Proceeds from the sale of images will go to support the photographers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

For me photography is really a unique and individual language easy to understand for everybody. I try to tell personal stories shooting with black & white \/ color film, digital and experimenting with different kinds of media. I have been always interested in photography that was on the edge of contemporary art and documentary photography.<\/p>\n Nowadays, the subject becomes more and more important. For the last 7 years I have worked a lot with archives and historical events, collective and private memories.<\/p>\n I moved to Moscow in 2012 because of my wife. I always traveled back and forth to cover different stories and events both in Ukraine and Russia, including Maidan, Crimea and Donbass. Today we have a full scale war between Russia and Ukraine. A week before the war started I covered the situation along the border, and at that time nobody believed in the possibility of a real war. Early morning 24th of February 2022, we were all in shock, and we still are. When my wife called me early that morning I was in a train heading back to Moscow. Our parents still in Ukraine, under the shells. We were feeling helpless and devastated, but we understood that we needed to provide medicine and food for our parents. So we did it and keep doing it with the help of volunteers, friends and kind people. Each day starts and ends with a call to our parents, to see if they are ok. Many of our friends fled from Russia not to be drafted or scared of the uncertain future here. Many international media left the country since the criminal law about fake and discrediting news about the Russian army. I continue working, but the job of photojournalist has become dangerous and nearly impossible.''<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19959,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[277],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-19961","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-ukraina-toetuseks-en","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"taxable","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"purchasable","13":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fotografiska.ee\/epood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/19961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fotografiska.ee\/epood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fotografiska.ee\/epood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fotografiska.ee\/epood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fotografiska.ee\/epood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fotografiska.ee\/epood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=19961"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fotografiska.ee\/epood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=19961"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fotografiska.ee\/epood\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=19961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
