Considerations
Conceptual Approach
- Conceptual considerations: What is the work about? Who is present in the photographs? Does the work refer to an event in history, or a more contemporary social issue or phenomenon? What is the author's positionality or relationship to the story/community/issue? Does the work rely on factual and/or speculative ideas? Is the story clear-cut or ambiguous? How does the artist use images and information to tell the story? What knowledge has the work generated? What feelings does it activate?
Technical Approach
- Camera: Canon 1DX
- Lenses:
- Canon 16-35 f2.8 ii
- Canon 70-200 f2.8 ii
- ???Sigma 24mm f1.4???

‘From normality to madness’ French photographer Antoine d’Agata on capturing the invisible pain of war in Ukraine for Jonathan Littell’s new book — Meduza
Just before Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, French-American writer Jonathan Littell and French photographer Antoine d’Agata traveled to Kyiv’s Babi Yar ravine, where the Nazis carried out one of the Holocaust’s largest massacres in September 1941. Littell and d’Agata’s goal was to document how the site of such enormous tragedy preserves its history and exists in the present day. However, Moscow’s full-scale war forced them to broaden the scope of their project to reflect a reality where war crimes are not just a horrific chapter in Ukraine’s past but a part of its daily life in the present. The resulting book, titled An Inconvenient Place, was published in French in late 2023. Now, Meduza has released its first-ever Russian-language translation. Photographer Antoine d’Agata has also undertaken other assignments in Ukraine, working for The New York Times, Le Monde, and Magnum. He even helped the Ukrainian military in Kharkiv compile a photo archive of deceased Russian soldiers for future exchanges. Meduza spoke with d’Agata about his experiences working in a war-torn country and how he maintains his ability to empathize.
