Misha Pedan

Misha Pedan (b. 1957, Kharkiv, lives in Stockholm, Sweden) appeared on the Kharkiv art scene in early 1980’s. He was one of the founders of the Gosprom Group in 1986 - 1987 and the Ukrainian Photographic Alternative association in 2010, bringing together photographers, who opposed traditional tastes of the majority of Ukraine’s artists. (See Pedan’s 1985 - 2000 work in exhibition 2)

Pedan’s 2011 Stereo_typ project of subtly composed paired images showing the same locations at different shooting points follows a Kharkiv School approach started by Boris Mikhailov. The idea behind it, first formulated by Mikhailov, is a recognition that a single “ideal shot” taken at the right place, time and angle in no more a sufficient representation of the object. Paired images can be also seen in Vladimir Starko’s and Victor Kochetov’s portfolios. Digital coloring of the images is also a characteristic Kharkiv School feature.

The Stereo_typ project was published as a photobook (Misha Pedan. Stereo_typ, 2011, Khimaira förlag).
