Ukrajina 24/02/22–
Who can still remember Mariupol, which was everywhere in newspapers and TV news only recently? Who can still remember Bucha, the most tragic symbol of Ukrainian trauma? The images of this war are overlapping, fading and disappearing. And the public’s determination to stand by the Ukrainians until the end of their struggle for bare existence is also gradually withering away.
Slovakian war reporter Mirek Tóda and five documentary photographers Tomáš Benedikovič, Gabriel Kuchta, Juraj Mravec, Pavol Pekarčík and Vladimír Šimíček decided to publish a book that goes against all these tendencies because it revives memory. The images of this war are coming in every day. And so the dash in the title of this book is not a typo. This tiny graphic symbol personifies the whole tragedy of this war. A war with an open end. A war that is still going on.
This was done with kind help and contribution of Kyiv Type Foundry (KTF Jermilov) and Ilya Bazhanov (Molode Serif) who provided their typefaces for free.
The book was published by Slovakian publishing house Absynt and crowdfunded with over than €22,000.
274 pages, 240×275 mm, silver coil binding with French fold pages
