‘THE NEW ABNORMAL’ – photographs from Ukraine; an exhibition in cooperation with the Odesa Photo Days Festival at the House of Photography in Hamburg
The exhibition ‘The New Abnormal’ at PHOXXI, the temporary House of Photography of the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg, is a cooperation with the Odesa Photo Days Festival, which is conveying an impression of everyday life in the face of the war through 6 November, 2022.
The escalation of the war and the full-scale invasion of Russian troops into the territory of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, have had a significant impact on the course of history and life in Ukraine. The events of the past months have affected the citizens of the country and all spheres of social and political life. In an instant, life was divided into a life “before” and “during.”
The Ukrainian people were forced to go through all stages of transformation – shock, denial, fear, acceptance, and adaptation. The goal of the exhibition is to show a new form of life which has emerged during the war. This new form of life includes processes of adaptation in the social and public space, the transformation of normal rules of conduct and daily routines, and the combination of emotional states of fear, anger, and joy.
The international festival of contemporary photography, Odesa Photo Days, was founded in 2015 as a reaction to the war started by Russia in the eastern part of Ukraine accompanied by the outbreak of propaganda and media manipulation. Held annually for seven years, the Odesa Photo Days Festival was canceled in 2022 due to the full-scale Russian attack in February. The festival team is now working to spread the word about the situation in Ukraine and to support Ukrainian documentary photographers and photography artists who are affected by the war.
In addition to the House of Photography of the Deichtorhallen Hamburg, there are also cooperations with the Palais de Tokyo, Paris or the Copenhagen Photo Festival and many more.
