Présentation
'On War and Other Trivialities' is a documentary project shot between 2018 and 2020 in eastern Ukraine, more precisely in the Donbass region. At that time, Ukraine was already engaged in a proxy war with Russia and the Russian-backed separatists of the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics.
In this project, I wanted to distance myself from the position of the war photographer as a privileged witness by considering the broader social context as an essential part of the war. Gena Kagermanov
