Lonely Are All the Bridges is the result of more than fifteen years of Robin Hinsch's photographic research in Ukraine. It reveals a complex story of life in a country torn between its past, war, and an uncertain future.
Featuring images alongside an insightful essay by renowned art historian Julian Stallabrass, it offers a perspective on a conflict that touches us all. "The project's title comes from a poem by Ingeborg Bachmann; for a long time, it carried the working title 'Kowitsch'. What I saw then -- and what I witness now -- is a country caught between a contested past, a brutal present, and an uncertain future."--Robin Hinsch.
