Photobook "Boris Mikhailov. Time is out of Joint" (2012) signed by Boris Mikhailov Since his photographic beginnings in the mid-1960s, Boris Mikhailov (born 1938 in Kharkiv, Ukraine, lives and works in Kharkiv and Berlin) has created a broad and impressively multifaceted body of work. Over the years, he has virtuously explored the diverse possibilities of the medium, painting a portrait of his immediate surroundings that is both unflinching and ironic. His constant engagement with photographic techniques, his work with various cameras and stylistic devices, and his oscillation between conceptual and documentary approaches make him the most important contemporary photographer, active even during the Soviet era. This book—accompanying his largest exhibition to date in Germany—brings together a selection of works, encompassing both the experimental images of his early years and his most recent pieces created in Berlin. With contributions by Thomas Köhler, Christina Landbrecht, Olga Sviblova, and Jan Verwoert.
