“Stylistically Boris Mikhailov is one of the most wide-ranging of contemporary photographers,” and in this “immensely powerful, unsettling, yet subtle photobook” of two volumes, featuring a total of 237 color plates from photographs shot in Kiev and his home town of Kharkov, Mikhailov has created “a searing indictment of a society that has broken down… [and] in the photographer’s own words, has given rise to a ‘society of wolves… This is hard-hitting social documentary. But without in any way reducing its immediate documentary impact, Mikhailov takes it further, looking for those ‘historical symbols… that lift the work from a specific social condition and give it a more universal meaning” (Parr & Badger II:77). Each volume with introductory essay by Mikhailov; text in German, English and Russian. Item #5210
