‘Looking for Lenin’ by Niels Ackermann & Sébastien Gobert
Global Arts Workshop (34 Andriyivskyy Uzviz)
The 15th edition of IHRDFF Docudays UA and Triptych: Global Arts Workshop, with the support of the Swiss Embassy in Ukraine and the Journées francophonie 2018 programme, present ‘Looking for Lenin’, the critically acclaimed series of photographs published in 2017 in the book of the same name. Swiss photojournalist Niels Ackermann and French journalist Sébastien Gobert travelled extensively across Ukraine in the wake of the Revolution of Dignity in search of the fragments of the crumbling Soviet past. In their opinion, the various fates of Ukraine’s toppled Lenin monuments provide an insight into the profound transformation of Ukrainian politics, society, and national identity that is happening today. Ukraine’s Leninfall is perhaps the most sensational of symbolic purges in the contemporary world, but not the only one. As countries around the world take stock of its monuments, who will remain in sight, who will vanish forever? What criteria of equality do we apply to the monumental remains of past regimes?
