Boris Mikhailov - world's most famous Ukrainian, though, rather would say, a Soviet photographer - his entire adult life engaged in blaming the reality. Not that he does it deliberately - to ashamed of contemporaries and descendants of edification. No, Mikhailov shoots, as they say, without anger or passion. But even without disgust. He had the courage to look at life in focus. I have absolutely indifferent attitude when I see Boris Mikhalov's works.Although would like to pay attention to what he does.Firstly when I saw his works I had a shock and even disgust: dozens of people and figures,sometimes their bodies are so little resemble to normal ones that seem to be artifacts of the anatomical theatre. But I think such work are eligible to be.There is a highly weighted conceptual approach, to show people below the normal life and not to overload the picture with the copyright "sense ". Its already seen so much. Before looking at pictures of homeless people already we represent is how it looks and in 99 percent. cases,that is something what we were expecting. Lack of morals in life, it is also a kind of morality. Emptiness is so perfectly fills the space as well as the meaning.
