The launch date of Bohdan Warchomij’s long awaited panoramic book witnessing the Ukrainian Orange Revolution is now penciled in. The book will be launched at Greens, Oxford Street, Leederville, on Sunday October 1, 2006 at 6.30 pm.
The book is a collectible photographic hardbound book on uncoated stock with a laminated cover and a foreword by David Dare Parker, a highly respected Australian Photojournalist. It includes an incisive essay by Professor Marko Pavlyshyn from Monash University in Melbourne on the political background to the Orange Revolution, a peaceful people’s revolution which changed the democratic process in Ukraine so dramatically.
Featuring 132 pp of definitive black and white and colour images which document the scenario in Kyiv in November and December of 2004 the book captures the feel of the Revolution and hints of a darker, less optimistic future.
The images from the book have been exhibited widely, at Monash University in November 2005 and in Fremantle Prison in March and April 2006 as part of Foto Freo, an International Photography Festival.
Gail Williams, in STM on the 19 March 2006, wrote “When Bohdan Warchomij packed his camera and returned to his homeland of Ukraine, he walked into the story of a lifetime”.
