Prologue (Selected Works)
About
Donald Weber spent seven years traveling throughout Ukraine and Russia in an effort to understand and show something of life in the post-Soviet era. He observed how, since the collapse of Communism and its replacement with free-market Capitalism and an ostensible democracy, people are negotiating their places between ideologies, past and promised, and within “the system”. The photographs selected here are from various series undertaken between 2005 and 2011, including ‘Drunken Bride’, ‘Into the Half-Life’, ‘The Underclass and its Bosses’, and together make up a kind of prologue to Weber’s powerful ‘Interrogations‘ project (completed in 2011).
