The Embassy of Ukraine and the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza inaugurate next Monday at 7 pm the photographic exhibition The magic of Polissia. The slow pace of time, by renowned Ukrainian photographer Andrii Kotliarchuk.
On the occasion of the third anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24, 2022, the museum opens in the central hall this exhibition of photographs that will be exhibited until next March 9.
Polissia is the most enigmatic region of northern Ukraine, a land of forests and ancestral beliefs and sacred architecture. A unique world where the past is intertwined with the present and traditions are still alive.
Andrii Kotliarchuk travelled through Polissia for more than ten years with an analog camera, exploring its mystical atmosphere. His work captures the archaic traditions of its inhabitants, their way of life and a nature that preserves its primordial beauty. The author uses large-format black and white film and a 19th century lens, which gives his works a special depth.
