Born in the former Soviet Union Boris Mikhailov (born 1938) lived and worked for several decades in his hometown Kharkov, Ukraine. He received an education as an engineer and started to teach himself the practice of photography. Today he is one of the most successful and well-known photographers, who already was actively working in soviet times. His work very much is influenced in the means of Concept-Art and Social-Documentary-Photography. At the end of the 1960s he had his first exhibition. After the KGB found nude-pictures of his wife he was set off his job as an engineer and started to full-time work with photography. He shot a series of everyday-life scenes-documentation. 'The break-up of the former Soviet union has brutally torn apart the social fabric across all of its former territories. Building a civil society and a functioning market economy will take a long time. Meanwhile, there are many who have lost everything-their jobs, their homes, their social network, their identity-roaming the streets, scrambling for food and alcohol, looking for a place to sleep. Boris Mikhailov has followed their lives for a number of years.
