  • Ukrainian Crossroads. by SNOEK, Otto
    SNOEK, Otto
    Ukrainian Crossroads.

    Amsterdam: Lecturis / van Zoetendaal, 2014. First edition. Large softback photo book. In very good condition. No text, just photos. 145 pages. 280 x 220 mm (11 x 8¾ inches).
    Otto Snoek photographed the images presented here during six trips to Ukraine between 1989 - 1992. He documents a poor and desperate - but proud - country, in the latter years of communism, and records the people and places in a style which means that different things happen simultaneously in his photos. Fascinating.

    Citation du site de l'éditeur : Les photographies de Sébastien Meunier plongent le spectateur dans un monde inquiétant. Sur fond de vie et de mort, il invoque une étrange distribution de personnages, d'animaux, d'objets et de symboles pour créer une mise en scène émotionnelle semblable aux scènes d'un film qui se gravent dans notre inconscient.

Ce livre révèle l'univers vivant que Sébastien Meunier a laissé derrière lui.

Au tournant du siècle, ils étaient financés par le gouvernement français pour produire des images et des cartes postales de l'Algérie afin de promouvoir le tourisme colonial et de stimuler l'investissement privé.
