Hinsch – Lonely Are All the Bridges

‘’Lonely Are All the Bridges’ is not a war book. Not exactly. It is a portrait of a place and its people—where systems have collapsed, where borders have been redrawn again and again.’ – Robin Hinsch

The images in Lonely Are All the Bridges were made in Ukraine by Robin Hinsch over a period of more than a decade. The photographer first visited Ukraine in 2010, intrigued by the description of the then President Viktor Yanukovych as ‘the new dictator between East and West’. His sustained interest in this complex country compelled him to return many times to photograph both the landscape and the people he encountered. His images are unlike pictures of Ukraine seen in the news, presenting instead a melancholic vision of country caught between a contested past, a brutal present and an uncertain future.
