Donald Weber: In Russia and Ukraine
An Online Supplement to the Fall 2010 Print Edition of Canadian Art
Donald Weber Forest, Exclusion Zone, Chernobyl (from the series Bastard Eden, Our Chernobyl) 2006
In our fall 2010 magazine feature "Waiting in Ukraine," writer Noah Richler follows the photographer Donald Weber into the charged atmosphere of an interrogation room in Dniprodzerzhynsk, where the artist has been working on a series of harrowing portraits of criminal suspects since 2004. As Weber explains, "I've always believed my work interrogates the interrogators. By this I mean I watch, I observe, I take notes, learn. I ask silent questions." That interest in probing the complexities of human behaviour comes to the fore in this overview of the artist's work in Russia and Ukraine from the past four years.
