тисяча · case evac
winter 2024
Тисяча means a thousand. On 19 November 2024, the thousandth day of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, we were on the road, driving a vehicle from Bristol to Kyiv in aid of Driving Ukraine.
The photographs were made from the moving vehicle over five days, days 999 to 1003: 2 592 km, nineteen waypoints and five crossings, the last of them the border between Poland and Ukraine.
