More to come
Bathhouse (1972) comes from the seminal series Solarizations and Posterizations by Ukrainian photographer Jury Rupin. Working in Kharkiv in the early 1970s, Rupin pushed the boundaries of analogue experimentation while quietly documenting collective rituals and the human body in late-Soviet space. This print, from the photographer’s private archive, carries the traces of the Vremia group and Kharkiv Photo Club, situating it within a crucial chapter of Ukrainian photographic history.

A performer caught offstage - slouched in a chair, looking past the camera. Hujar (raised by Ukrainian immigrant grandparents, Ukrainian spoken at home) had a way of stripping the room down to pure presence.
