Case History

"Boris Mikhailov, born in 1938 in Kharkov, Ukraine lives and works in the Ukraine and in Berlin. Case History documents Mikhailov’s perception of social disintegration ensuing from the break-up of the Soviet Union – both in terms of social structures and the resulting human condition.  Case History documents the social oppression, the devastating poverty, the harshness and helplessness of everyday life for the homeless."






"I am not trying to take pictures of sensational things, but rather of those things which are in excess"
-Boris Mikhailov
