"To live in Odesa is to step through the back of the wardrobe into a magical realm that is not without hazard. As I write this, a family member texts from the city that desite the Russian missiles that have been falling or the past three days, in the courtyards of Moldavanka they are still drinking, singing and dancing. Yemchuk's photographs are like that. Look again. You will see something alive that you hadn't seen before: a glimpse of the city's soul."
Thank you to Julian Evans for his review of the forthcoming book 'Odesa' by Yelena Yemchuk @yemchuk in last weekend's @Telegraph Review.
Yelena will be taking part in a special @10x10photobooks salon, alongside Alakanana Nag @alkanag and Rania Matar @raniamatar in New York on the 1 June. You can find out more details and RSVP at the link in our bio.
