“Territory is the second part of Rafael Yaghobzadeh’s editorial project on Ukraine.

Through this work Yaghobzadeh distances himself from the documentary to delve elsewhere. By choosing the photographic negative as his medium, the fault it opens is spatial-temporal.

Electric cables cut up shards of carbon sky. Planted in the dark snow or white mud: bare poles, destroyed hovels, statues of Lenin…

As for human beings, they are faceless. As if captured in thermal vision, they appear highlighted, reduced to their target condition. To think negatively is to consider absence. Color photography is the domain of humanity and suffering; black and white that of history and tragedy.” -Editions Nuit Noire, translated from French
