Boris Mikhailov – Parliament
BORIS MIKHAILOV. Parliament is a catalogue of an exhibition in the Ukrainian Pavillion on La Biennale di Venezia 2017. Orginised by the Dallas Contemporary (USA) and the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine.
An artist book, directed by renowned photographer Juergen Teller and published by Rodovid Press, features works from the exhibition along with a “backstage look” at the production of Mikhailov’s Parliament series.
Peter Doroshenko, co-curator of the exhibition in the Ukrainian Pavillion, states: “Since the late 1990s, Boris Mikhailov and Juergen Teller have shared a unique and at times complementary view of the world through their photography. Their bond and friendship arises from not being afraid to push their photography and creating rich narratives for their images. Mikhailov and Teller put the viewer in a position of realizing the nature of perception by emphasizing the process of re-contextualization.”
