Nikolai Ishchuk

Nikolai Ishchuk’s practice can be described as being primarily photography-based. It is, however, augmented through inclusion of sculpture, installation, collage and other elements. Ever-shifting, it traverses these border territories, mining their potential to create hybrid works and testing the medium’s limits. It also explores possibilities for a discourse that speaks photographically through non-image means and that both assimilates medium-specific concerns and extends well beyond.


Ishchuk was the first non-documentary photographer to win the British Journal of Photography award. Ishchuk has exhibited internationally, including at such institutions as Whitechapel Gallery, London and the Moscow Museum of Modern Art.
