EXPECTATIONS
Four visual poems about Ukraine
(Excerpts)
Published as a book by Kehrer Verlag
Expectations is a series of photographs, in the form of four ‘visual poems’, about Ukraine, photographed 2008-2012. Ukraine is a land of endless expectations, a nation where people are always expecting, hoping, that - this time - things will get better. There can hardly be a country that has had a more tumultuous experience of the last hundred years.
Poem 1 - Fortune (excerpts)
The idea of fortune isn't so much about winning the lottery, it is about the process of waiting, of enduring, about the possibility rather than its fulfilment. Sometimes any change at all can seem preferable to none.
Poem 2 - Fears (excerpts)
Poem 3 - Memory (excerpts)
Poem 4 - Utopia (excerpts)
