After a short break, ARTbasement has resumed work and is opening an exhibition
photos of “War Documentation” by Vladyslav Krasnoshchok, a representative of the new wave
Kharkiv School of Photography.

The artist combines photography, graphics, sculpture and installation in his work.
The series of chronic photography presented at the exhibition reflects socio-political
side of the author’s creativity, which the artist often turns to in his works.
From the concept of Vladyslav Krasnoshchok: “Our car with blue stripes stops far beyond the checkpoint. There are several on the right
burnt cars, one of them upside down. In front of it is a small bridge and a five-meter bridge pond. Behind the car are several residential buildings, similar to Dalmatians because of the numerous black ball holes. I capture all the beauty on camera. I hear a shot. Another. I rush to machinery. We drive. We bend down. To our left is the “Heroiv Pratsy” metro station. Rush adrenaline We go back and forth. After that we get out of the car. Two more shots come to us Fortunately, we come out unscathed. I decided not anymore today photograph. At home, I understand that the film in the camera was not spinning the whole time. But probably I’ll be lucky to get a few first shots. I decided to develop the film anyway. IN during wartime, it is absolutely necessary to photo hunt with clean film every day. Not always
manage to take the catch of the rig to a safe place. Either the camera will be taken away, or in the face will hit Or even much worse things could happen to you.

However, history must be documented.

Ps. The film turned out to be as transparent as the water in that pond. End.”
