Jerôme SessiniInner Disorder

“Jérôme Sessini’s new book, Inner Disorder, collates his work made in Ukraine over three years, tracing the Ukrainian uprising from the extreme violence of the latter stages of the Euromaidan protests in February 2014, to growing Russian nationalistic sentiment manifesting across the eastern part of the country. As two republics emerged in the Donbas region, in the aftermath of revolution in Kiev, Sessini mapped fighting that broke out between separatists and militias supporting Ukraine, travelling between the capital and the industrial cities of the east, documenting shell-ridden landscapes, and everyday life for civilians amid war. The book, available now from Editorial RM, combines Sessini’s photographs, video stills — including from an original film made at Maidan Square, and his diary notes from 2014 to 2017. The result is a decidedly non-partisan portrait of a country devastatingly divided.”
