Ukraine 2004–2024: We Had a Normal Life [9783960701293]

Overview

This book tells the story of a Ukraine caught between hope and destruction, between peace and war, from 2004 to 2024

This book tells the story of a Ukraine caught between hope and destruction, between peace and war, from 2004 to 2024. 18 international photographers turn their gaze to this period in Ukraine, starting with the Orange Revolution in 2004, through the occupation of Crimea in 2014, the outbreak of war in February 2022, and into the present. They show what was once ‘home’ to the Ukrainians, what’s been lost, and what they long to reclaim: their country, their peace, an existence without constant threat, an entirely normal life… The images captured by these many photographers speak in different visual languages, yet they share a common message: the deep humanity that persists amidst a decades-long conflict marked by growing brutality. It’s a moving chronicle of multiple perspectives and experiences—haunting, harrowing, and unforgettable. Photography cannot end wars, but it plays a vital role in enabling a deeper understanding, by making visible what is happening, and preserving a record for posterity of the things that have happened.
