Futurespective: Vogue Ukraine Presents an Exhibition of Contemporary Ukrainian Photography at The Saatchi Gallery in London

Vogue Ukraine, in partnership with the global platform PhotoVogue, presents FUTURESPECTIVE, an exhibition created to support and promote Ukrainian artists on the international stage. It will be held at the Saatchi Gallery in London and will bring together the works of 34 contemporary authors representing the new generation of Ukrainian photography.

The exhibition features works in various genres and formats, including documentary and art photography, still life, landscape, and collage. The projects explore themes of youth, life, and hope during war, as well as identity and memory. The artists work at the intersection of personal and collective experience, and their works address intimate themes — family, emotions, self discovery — and become part of a broader dialogue about the meaning of life and the human experience of war. Together, they form a visual portrait of a generation that speaks to the viewer with sensitivity and power.

“These photographs are historical evidence and a monument to the present. It is not documentation, but a study on states. The authors speak about personal and collective sense of time, about the tension between normality and its impossibility in conditions of war. Their pictures serve as a passageway to the paradoxical world between the real and the imaginary, between trauma and hope, between birth and death. War in this exhibition is not a theme, but a context, a backdrop against which life unfolds,” says Marta Bertman, curator of the project.

Featured artists: Vladyslav Andrievsky, Vic Bakin, Lesha Berezovskiy, Mishka Bochkaryov, Ania Brudna, Alex Blanco, Nazar Furyk, Egor Guschin, Artem Humilevskyi, Vadym Ivchenko, Yourko Kalichack, Ksenia Kargina, Daniil Kotliar, Sasha Kurmaz, Ira Lupu, Dom Marker, Mykola Maychyk, Yegor Parker, Anatoliy Petchenko, Kristina Podobed, Oleksiy, Ponomaryov, Alina Prisich, Julie Poly, Viacheslav Poliakov, Irina Shkoda, Elena Subach, Synchrodogs, Daria Svertilova, Anya Tsaruk, Daniel Vaysberg, Vasylyna Vrublevska, Yan Wasiuchnik, Stephan Lisowski, Volodymyr Kaminetsky.

Since 1985, Saatchi Gallery has provided an innovative platform for contemporary art. Exhibitions have presented works by largely unseen young artists, or by international artists whose work has been rarely or never exhibited in the UK. This approach has made the Gallery one of the most recognized names in contemporary art. Since moving to its current space in the Duke of York’s Headquarters in Chelsea, London, the Gallery has welcomed over 10 million visitors. The Gallery hosts thousands of school visits annually and has over 6 million followers on social media. In 2019 Saatchi Gallery became a registered charity, beginning a new chapter in its history.
