Ukrainian Portraits aims to bring visibility to people displaced by war, who are engaged in a delicate negotiation between their personal lives, communal backgrounds, and their emerging identities as displaced individuals
Volkova facilitates collaborative creation of portraits, using the historic wet plate collodion process, digital photography, and video. She is interested in emergent properties of collaboration and the agile process of shaping images, where the experience of making is centered.
The portraits in this exhibition were made in Germany, in 2023 and 2024, and feature communities of displaced Ukrainians in Stuttgart, Augsburg, Berlin, and Düsseldorf.
