The Road Beyond the Horizon

25. July - 25. August




The portrayal of the family is a subtle snapshot of Ukrainian society today.

Consider the country called Ukraine. It is so large, so diverse. So many roads and intersections. Creating this series, the photographer Ruslan Hrushchak explored many different paths.

Hrushchak now lives in Germany; he left Ukraine twenty years ago when he was still a young boy. However, his parents and many of his relatives still live in the Lviv region. The Road Beyond the Horizon is a series of photographs taken in 2016-2017. Family circumstances inspired the photographer to embark on a journey across Ukraine, focusing on many different places and people. In fact, people—that is, portraits—comprise the largest portion of the series. Ordinary Ukrainians of today—who are they? What worries them? War has been raging for the fifth year now; economic troubles undermine hope for quick and substantial changes; but now, as always, life still has room for joys big and small.

About 
Ruslan Hrushchak



BIO

Ruslan Hrushchak is portraiture and fine art photographer. Born in Ukraine. Now he lives in Leipzig, Germany.

He studied photography at Ostkreuzschule Berlin (Germany), journalism (Lviv, Ukraine), and computer science (Leipzig, Germany). Ruslan focuses on regular people in paces and situations that highlight an aspect of who they are. Since last year Ruslan shifts the focus of his photographs to the abstract: he paints chemigrams, makes experiments with the analog technique, and creates collages. He uses a digital or a film Leica normally usually and a Fujifilm GFX for his studio work. Ruslan's first photography book about people in Ukraine "The Road Beyond the Horizon" published by Kominek Gallery is coming in the fall of 2021.
