Florian Bachmeier's color photographs, which were taken in Ukraine over the last eight years, succeed in making the past and present historical processes in Ukraine visible and in describing their psychological and social effects on people as well as the landscapes.

He traveled extensively throughout the country, taking photographs in the cities, villages and at the front. In its seventh year, an internal political conflict has turned into a ruthless proxy war that has cost thousands of lives and spread its effects across the entire country.

IN LIMBO describes an apparent state of paralysis and, at the same time, permanent uncertainty. The portraits tell of biographies in which the conflict is visibly and invisibly inscribed. In addition to the heroic monuments and the ruins of the last war, the front runs through the landscape. In the end, people only have the decision to either settle in this situation or leave the country, their homeland.
