“Bolnichka” by Vladyslav Krasnoshchok

“Bolnichka” is a photographic diary of a Kharkiv artist and maxillofacial surgeon Vladyslav Krasnoshchok. This surrealist narrative, filled with dark medical humour, illustrates the unhealthy state of the post-Soviet medical system in Ukraine: strenuous work in the outdated infrastructure and meagre salaries for medical professionals are disproportionate to the responsibility they bear.

Roland Barthes, “La chambre claire. Note sur la photographie” (Ukrainian translation)

“La chambre claire” also known in its English and Ukrainian translation as “Camera lucida” is the last book by the French philosopher and literary theorist Roland Barthes published just several months before his death. The author explores the medium of photography and also reflects on the death of his mother. Barthes transforms a cultural analysis of photography into phenomenological. According to him, photography can pierce the veil of symbolic codes of language and culture, thus existing beyond the semiotics and affecting the body as much as the mind.
