Hype&Hyper

The picturesque landscapes of Eastern Europe lead us to forgotten villages, small communities. The identity of Central and Eastern Europe is inspiring to many photographers, as what is a bygone memory elsewhere is the raw reality here in many areas. Five documentary photographers, five perspectives exploring an always exciting subject: identity, community and our living spaces, in Eastern Europe.

Maxim Dondyuk | Ukraine

The Ukrainian artist is in the field of documentary photography, but his work extends to several media in addition to photography: he also deals with video, text and archival materials.
