Boris Mikhaïlov Exhibits at Centre régional de la photographie and Galerie Suzanne Tarasieve

The Centre régional de la photographie in Douchy-les-Mines and Galerie Suzanne Tarasieve in Paris are concurrently presenting works by Ukrainian photographer Boris Mikhaïlov. The exhibitions, reviewed in artpress no. 465 (April 2019) by Régis Durand, showcase Mikhaïlov's distinctive approach to photography, which often documents post-Soviet life with a raw, unflinching eye. The Centre régional de la photographie focuses on his series from the 1970s to the 1990s, while Galerie Suzanne Tarasieve presents more recent works. Mikhaïlov, born in 1938 in Kharkiv, is known for his critical and often provocative imagery that challenges social norms and political systems. The dual-venue exhibition offers a comprehensive overview of his career, highlighting his influence on contemporary photography.
