Epitome — Vic Bakin. Published by Void.
Vic Bakin’s Epitome is a unique take on conflict, a book where landscapes and bodies are united in his take on the war in Ukraine. The physicality, vulnerability and sexuality of male bodies are blended in with destroyed landscapes printed in a semi-functional darkroom. It’s mix of conflict and queerness adds a new way of seeing and being to the representation of war.
