26 OUR LIFE • January-February 2023 THE UKRAINIAN MUSEUM 222 East 6th Street, New York, NY 10003 www.ukrainianmuseum.org Now Showing: Yelena Yemchuk For the past 25 years, Yelena Yemchuk has been pushing the boundaries of contem - porary photography and film. What first appears to be a simple image reveals, upon closer examination, great complex - ity of narrative and production. Yemchuk carries out her artistic vision by working in series, questioning the validity of a single perceptual possibility. The Yelena Yem - chuk exhibition at The Ukrainian Museum includes two veins of her studio practice: photography and film. For her Odesa series, which highlights four years of work in the southern city, Yemchuk photographed the city and its inhabitants. The series encompasses youth, landscapes, and quirky urban de - The Ukrainian Museum’s newest exhibition features the photography and filmography of New York City resident Yelena Yemchuk. tails. Yemchuk explores the subject of Ukraine in the post-Soviet era, living conditions in post-communist Eastern Europe, and the fallen ideals of the Soviet Union. Malanka , Yemchuk’s latest film, depicts a visitor to Ukraine’s Carpathian Mountains, looking for some - one during the festive New Year’s Eve folk holiday. As he travels from village to village in his search, sur - real images of masks and costumes abound. Occa - sional fade-outs and fade-ins to the main character are used to represent a unique point of view. Time becomes a topic as the story travels forward, yet for certain locations in the film it stands still. The Muse - um exhibition is the world premiere of Malanka . Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, Yelena Yemchuk immigrated to the United States with her parents in 1981, when she was eleven. She went on to study at both the Par - sons School of Art and Design in New York and the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. Her work has been published in The New Yorker, AnOther, ID, Dazed & Confused , and Italian, British, and Japanese Vogue , among others.
