Berlin has given me the possibility of a new life, but an immigrant is an immigrant. You never forget where you\u2019re from.\u201d Mikhailov was born in the Ukraine in 1938, and his engaging works take a contemporary position in the grey zone between documentary and fine art photography, while revealing an exceptional sensibility for personal narratives.<\/p>\n<p>His seminal series \u201cCase History<em>\u201d<\/em>, depicting the derelict life conditions of those left homeless after the fall of the Soviet Union, was the subject of a major survey at the MoMA in late 2011, and now the Berlinische Galerie is holding the largest retrospective of his work in Berlin to date. Since starting out as a photographer in the mid-1960s, the artist has produced a wide-ranging and impressively multi-facetted oeuvre. A virtuoso, Mikhailov has drawn on very different possibilities presented by the medium, depicting his immediate surroundings with both brutal bluntness and humorous irony. His constant exploration of new photographic techniques, his use of widely varying styles, but also his abilitiy to switch between a conceptual approach and a documentary perspective, make him one of the most interesting photographers today. Origin and language play an important role for Mikhailov, whose imagery relies on experience and knowledge. \u201cYou have to be in insider in a society,\u201d he says, \u201cto be able to depict it the way I try to. I\u2019m not an insider in Germany, though, my German is not good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boris Mikhailov <br \/><\/strong><strong>Time is out of joint.
