НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ • Травень 2024 23 РОЗВИВАЄМО • CULTIVATE THE UKRAINIAN MUSEUM 222E6NYC Oleksandr Glyadelov: Fragments This summer, the Ukrainian Museum in New York features two photo- graphic exhibitions: those of Peter Hujar (see our March-April 2024 issue, p. 20), and those of Oleksandr Glyadelov, whose photographs focus on sites and events across Ukraine since russia’s full-scale invasion. Glyadelov’s images function as timestamps profoundly recording the devastation and survival during the ongoing war. He captures urban scenes and rural settlements often just hours after their destruction. His images instantaneously elicit memories of traumatic news from Irpin, Bucha, Borodianka, Izium, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Moshchun, Kyiv, Kher - son, Bakhmut ... Glyadelov’s empathetic presence is felt in the startling scenes of life that unravel in the shelters of Ohmatdyt, Ukraine’s largest children’s hospital; in the yards of solitary villagers who decided to stay and rebuild their households; on evacuation routes; and at the sites of military encampment. The landscapes in his photographs are charged with historical grief and insight, forever altered by the imposed violence, much like the Dnipro estuary pic - tured in several of the exhibition’s images where freshwater and saltwater meet. Born in 1956 in Legnica, Poland, Oleksandr Glyadelov has lived and worked in Kyiv since 1974. He graduat - ed from the National Technical University of Ukraine “Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.” His work addresses human - itarian crises, child homelessness, HIV/AIDS, drug addiction, prisons, and military conflicts. Over the years he has collaborated with organizations such as Doctors Without Borders, UNAIDS, and UNICEF. Since 1989, as an independent professional photojournalist, he has covered military conflicts in Moldova, Nagorno-Kara- bakh, Chechnya, Kyrgyzstan, Somalia, South Sudan, and Ukraine. He deliberately photographs with an ana- logue camera on black-and-white film. Glyadelov is the winner of Ukraine’s 2020 Shevchenko Prize.
