For his 2007 series »Somebody’s Got to Do It« Arthur Zalewski travelled the Ukraine, where he captured the urban and social realities of Kiev and Odessa in black and white pictures, in a photojournalist style. He documents public places and buildings, wastelands and monuments – the relics of a bygone society, which are now meeting places for adolescents where they flick through lifestyle magazines. Were it not for the remaining characteristic backdrops from the Soviet era, one could barely tell the hustle and bustle from that of any other large city in Europe.
