FACES OF WAR - Alexander Chekmenev

(English)

Published by Gallery Clara Maria Sels at KERBER, 2024

In Faces of War, Alexander Chekmenev focusses on the lives of the Ukrainian population and their individual fates as a result of the Russian war of aggression. With great sensitivity, Chekmenev portrays those who defy the war in their everyday lives, who work in makeshift soup kitchens, try to protect themselves from the ongoing attacks in underground railway shafts or actively help to feed their fellow human beings.

PASSPORT - Alexander Chekmenev

(English)
Published by Dewi Lewis Publishing, 2017

In 1994-1995, in Luhansk, a town in southeast Ukraine, social services began employing photographers to take passport photos in the homes of those who were elderly or ill, and could not themselves afford to pay a photographer. Alexander Chekmenev was one of the photographers commissioned to go door to door during this national campaign. And so he  ended up in the homes of these people, along with the social workers whose more usual job was to provide free medicine and groceries.
