Author Information
Niels Ackermann is a Swiss photojournalist and founding member of the photography agency Lundi13. He has worked for the Swiss international press since 2007. For his project The White Angel (Les Editions Noir Sur Blanc, 2016) he spent four years documenting the transition to adulthood of a group of youths near Chernobyl. This reportage received many awards including the Prix Rémi Ochlik - Ville de Perpignan 2016 and the Swiss Press Photo Award of photographer of the year 2016. Ackermann uses documentary photography to reveal a more nuanced vision of Ukraine, challenging stereotypes and giving a voice to contradictory opinions. His work has been exhibited in both solo and group shows and festivals in Arles, Perpignan, Breda, Pingyao, Moscow, Kyiv, Zurich, Basel and Geneva. He has lived in Kyiv, Ukraine since 2015. After travelling extensively, Gobert became fascinated by post-communist region, living in many different countries across this territory. In 2011 he settled in Ukraine, working as a journalist. He is a correspondent for various media including: Libération, Radio France Internationale, Le Monde Diplomatique and La Tribune de Genève. His position has granted him a privileged perspective to observe Ukraine's dramatic upheavals. He was awarded the 'Writing for CEE' Award in 2013. In addition Gobert runs a blog entitled 'Nouvelles de l'Est' and is a contributing author to 'Odyssée Européenne. Dans l'oeil des Géographes', a collection of books on subjective geography of European cities. Damon Murray and Stephen Sorrell have been publishing books on Soviet culture since 2004 with the release of the first Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopaedia.
