Inner Disorder Ukraine 2014-2017

Sometimes, a single book can summarize a period, an event, a phenomenon. Only the talent of the author can make the difference. Jerome Sessini’s photographs of the Ukraine uprising are not beautiful, they are appropriate and necessary. They rightly question the horror, violence and hypocrisy that characterize six years of wars at the gates of Europe. Inner Disorder gathers photographs and texts of the hardest moments and the hollow moments of a war punctuated by life, death, boredom and silence. The proximity of the events leaves no respite for the reader, the familiarity of the faces blatantly illustrating the banality of war. And yet, it goes beyond the context to produce a universal message.
