Ksenia Ivanova, Between the Trees of the South Caucasus

Born in Russia in 1990 and currently living in Berlin, the photographer’s project was produced from 2019 to 2023, and offers insight into the as-yet-unresolved conflict in South Caucasus. In August 2008, Russia stationed troops in neighbouring Georgia, and declared the independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. Considering the war in Ukraine, the series asks fundamental questions about the future of this region and the consequences for the people living there.
