Conceptual Photography. Сучасні фотографічні експерименти з техніками та образами

A distinct trend in world art is now emerging – contemporary conceptual photography from Ukraine. Young Ukrainian artists, using their imagination and technical capabilities, the whole spectrum and unrestrained combinations of colors, demonstrate amazing masterpieces that create an absolute phenomenon, the development of which is largely facilitated by the activities of the MYPH school and community. Creative Publishing and the MYPH school of conceptual and art photography have prepared this joint project to inform a wide domestic and international audience about contemporary conceptual photography in Ukraine and its brightest representatives.

Contemporary artists in the field of conceptual photography work in digital and analog formats, create collages, complex art projects using a variety of tools and media. They use instant cameras and experiment with numerous techniques of cameraless photography. They shoot real life or create their own magical worlds. Exploring the physical and the spiritual, one’s own sexuality and sensuality, complex and deep explorations of states of body and mind: works with deep meanings are presented in this book alongside quotes from their authors, MYPH alumni and members of the community. The publication reflects many of the photographers’ reflections on the tragic events taking place in Ukraine today. They express them through different genres, styles and media.
