Igor Chekachkov: 100 Days of War (signed)

“When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, I was forced to leave my hometown, Kharkiv, and go to the west of the country.

Aware that the war is well documented by many photographers and media outlets, I decided to seek out new forms through which to depict the aftermath of the invasion. That is how the “100 Days of War” project came about.

From the very first day, I began to put together photographs and notes in a small notebook, creating a personal record of war and displacement from the inside.

What originally stemmed from an intuitive desire to document my experience of war and uncertainty developed into something broader: a reflection on the notions of home, identity, and displacement.

Whilst the work literally describes the sudden evacuation of my family and the consequences of a brutal Russian attack, it also seeks to question the language of photography itself, and its limitations in documenting, representing and affecting conflict.

This subjective documentation of Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine became my project 100 Days of War.”
