Exhibition from 23 May to 18 August 2024.

In 2022, Edward Kaprov travelled to Ukraine to photograph the war. His approach is unique and striking: using the historic technique of wet collodion – which requires you to bring your laboratory and fragile glass plates with you – he criss-crossed the Donbass to photograph the soldiers and civilians affected on the frontline by the conflict. In contrast to the immediacy of traditional war photography, the process imposes a slowness, a distance and a real encounter with the population. Alongside Kaprov’s work, the exhibition features original prints by leading historical photographers – such as Roger Fenton – and contemporary photographers – such as Sally Mann – who have also used this process to capture the war.

AGENDA

Edward Kaprov takes your collodion portrait
