“Photography captures a moment in history, a moment in time which will never happen again,” the artist Yelena Yemchuk said in an interview about the book Odesa, a 2022 collection of her photographs. “And to me no Ukrainian will ever be the same after this war.” Yemchuk’s first exhibition at New York’s Ukrainian Museum features these photographs, intimate and haunting portraits of the inhabitants of Odesa, a port city in Southern Ukraine. Also included in the exhibition is the debut of Yemchuk’s latest film, Malanka, shot in Ukraine’s Carpathian Mountains. Her unique style, both tranquil and powerful, documents the contours and peculiarities of Ukraine today. —Paulina Prosnitz
