Życiorys
[edytuj | edytuj kod]Jej rodzina przeniosła się na Brooklyn w Nowym Jorku, gdy Yemchuk była nastolatką[2]. Przed emigracją do Stanów Zjednoczonych Yemchuk spędzała lato w położonym nad Dnieprem terenie rekreacyjnym w Kijowie, zwanym Gidropark, który później stał się inspiracją dla jej książki z 2011 pod tym samym tytułem. Książka pozwala poznać bardziej osobistą stronę Yemchuk. Zdjęcia opublikowane w książce zostały wykonane latem między 2005 a 2008. Yemchuk opisała teren jako sowiecką wersję Coney Island, gdzie latem lasy i nabrzeża zamieniają się w plac zabaw[3].
Studiowała w Parson School of Design w Nowym Jorku oraz w ArtCenter College of Design w Pasadenie w Kalifornii[1][3]. Większość jej prac dotyczy fotogra

Yelena Yemchuk
Yemchuk immigrated to the United States with her parents when she was eleven. She became interested in photography when her father gave her a 35 mm Minolta camera for her fourteenth birthday. Yemchuk has studied at Parsons and the Art Center in Pasadena. Her photographs have appeared in the New Yorker, Another Magazine, ID, Dazed & Confused, and Italian, British and Japanese Vogue and her paintings and photographs have been exhibited around the world.
Yelena Yemchuk’s photographs of Gidropark, Kiev, Ukraine were taken in the summers of 2005 through 2008. Gidropark, which Yemchuk likens to a “Soviet version of Coney Island,” was built in 1968 on the River Dnieper as a recreational complex. Best known for her fashion and portrait photography, this series is very personal to Yemchuk, who was born in the Ukraine in 1970 and spent her summers as a child visiting this park. Her images made on the beaches, sports grounds and woodlands that populate the park capture characters and an atmosphere that is Felliniesque. There is a timeless qua

Where does the title of the film come from?
That’s what they call the festival. It’s a pagan holiday that’s like the Greek version of Persephone. It started in Ukraine about 200 years ago. It’s celebrated on New Year's Eve on January 13th. The tale is that the devil kidnaps Mother Earth’s daughter, Spring. He takes her into the underworld and then the people and animals dance, sing and stomp until the Devil releases Malanka from the underworld and Spring begins, so I called the film Malanka.
Speaking of the exhibition—how did the two projects,OdesaandMalanka, dialogue between each other?
Well, it was an interesting thing because I initially wouldn’t have done that. It wasn’t my idea, but it worked. The curator and the director of the Ukrainian Museum, Peter Doroshenko, just started there in the fall this year. I worked with him on another project at the Dallas Contemporary museum where I had Mabel, Betty & Bette shown there three years ago. I had a big installation of the photographs from that project and showed the film there as well. So when he as
