Horaïvka

During his visits to Horaivka, a small town in Central Ukraine, the photographer Anatoliy Babiychuk, born in the Ukraine and now living in Vienna, has been taking photos regularly since 2009. Babiychuk is interested in the modest everyday life of the inhabitants, reflected in the archaic structure of the village life, a kindergarten, an elementary school, a post office, two small shops, a village club and a fist aid station. But also the private life, people in their homes, the observation of their traditional rituals and the seemingly contemplative work in the large fields is becoming a prototypical sociogram of a forgotten part of Europe as a result of the photographer?s focused observation.
