Exhibition summary

This exhibition catalog, titled 'Straty zamierzone' (Intended Losses), features photographs taken in Ukraine after the 2022 Russian invasion by Magnum Photos photographers. It presents a poignant photo-reportage of life during wartime, exploring the concept of 'collateral damage' becoming deliberate acts of aggression.

Curatorial context

The catalog 'Straty zamierzone' accompanies an exhibition that showcases striking photographs captured in Ukraine following the Russian invasion in 2022. The participating artists, including Antoine d’Agata, Sabiha Çimen, Rafał Milach, Paolo Pellegrin, Moises Saman, and Jérôme Sessini from Magnum Photos, offer a powerful photo-reportage of daily life amidst the ongoing conflict. The exhibition delves into the devastating reality where the term 'collateral damage' is re-contextualized, illustrating how destruction of cities, infrastructure, and the lives of civilians are not accidental but deliberate actions by the aggressor. Curated by Katarzyna Puchalska and Beata Łyżwa-Sokół, with contributions from Irene Lombardo, the selection focuses on evocative images of everyday life that provoke reflection rather than direct combat scenes. The publication also contextually includes archival photographs by Abbas from the former Yugoslavia during the 1990s wars.
