For the acclaimed photographer Boris Mikhailov (born 1938), a society’s most significant paradigm shifts are often most clearly perceived in the smallest of everyday transactions. For example, in a café or restaurant in the Soviet-era Ukraine, a waiter would have offered you “tea or coffee?” Today, two decades after the fall of the Soviet bloc and the ascent of western capitalism, it’s “tea, coffee, cappuccino?” In his latest body of work, Mikhailov addresses this shift by focusing on his hometown of Charkow, in the north east of the Ukraine. Here, the consumerist invasion of western capitalism is everywhere apparent in huge, colorful advertising banners and billboards, but the promises of the so-called Orange Revolution seem to have been fulfilled for only a few. Mikhailov writes that “only when one sees misery in a picture, does one begin to notice it in the street,” and throughout the 200-plus photographs in this volume, he takes pains to neither dramatize nor ameliorate the conditions of life in Charkow; and so his tough-minded pictures present a bleak but rigorously honest portrait of the Ukraine and its inhabitants.

评分《Tea Coffee Capuccino》是性感老头Boris Mikhailov的一本新画册，他这次专注于乌克兰在苏联解体后开始向西方资本主义看齐近20年来的转变，拍摄的是他破烂的家乡Charkow。书名的由来也特别有趣，早在苏联时期去当地咖啡厅，服务员会问客人是要茶或咖啡，而现在是问要茶或咖啡还是Cappuccino。
