Description
Published at the end of the 1990s, Case History stands as one of Boris Mikhailov’s most uncompromising bodies of work, documenting life in post-Soviet Kharkov during the social collapse that followed the dissolution of the USSR. These gritty photographs confront poverty, displacement, addiction, and survival without editorial softening, placing Mikhailov firmly among the most important documentary artists to emerge from Eastern Europe. His work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including MoMA, the Stedelijk Museum, and the Centre National de la Photographie, and this book remains a cornerstone reference for collectors of late 20th-century documentary photography.
This Scalo edition reflects the publisher’s high production standards, with strong color reproduction, thick stock, and careful sequencing across more than 200 pages of images. The original slipcase adds both protection and presentation value, making this a desirable example for serious photography libraries. Copies in this condition are increasingly difficult to locate.
