Igor Chekachkov - NA4JOPM8, ist publishing, 2021, Ukraine

 

Hardcover, edition of 700 copies + 50 limited edition copies, signed. Text in Ukrainian, English, sequencing & photo editing by Ania Nałęcka-Milach & Igor Chekachkov, book concept and design by  Ania Nałęcka-Milach, layout by Ania Nałęcka-Milach, Kateryna Bolshakova, text by Oleksandr Mykhed.

“NA4JOPM8” — the name of the photo series by Ukrainian photographer Igor Chekachkov. It appeared after Chekachkov’s eponymous hard drive with a ten-year archive of 250,000 photographs was accidentally destroyed and later (partially) restored. The photos (that later became damaged files) went through unpredictable circumstances and deep artistic reflection. The photo book addresses Ukrainian social and political issues through personal stories of universal experiences such as loss, passion, intimacy, and loneliness. Random computer algorithms meant that Chekachkov accomplished the goal he had set and postponed for several years. He combined two vectors of his practice into one, thus consolidating private and public life images into one series.
