PhotoSaintGermain-Rafal Milach

Rafał Milach, LAST RESORT

delpire & co is delighted to welcome Polish photographer Rafał Milach, who will present his publication work revolving around protest.

« The realm of protest is broad. It spans dramatic acts of vandalism in public space to subtle forms of individual resistance; it stretches from the digital landscape to the concrete presence of crowds, banners, and the choreographies of demonstrations. Each of these strategies has its place and its own purpose. Each is experienced differently, but none is devoid of meaning. Civil resistance is driven not only by an aspiration for self-determination and agency, but also by a certain despair—that which arises from the failure of dialogue and diplomacy. It is a space where the intimate and the personal confront structural oppression. Can a book become the meeting ground for these two spheres? What reach can such an initiative have? Can it constitute a last resort? » -Rafał Milach
