Much has been reported, academically processed and said about the fight against corruption in Ukraine. In this publication Counterfuture, an imagery archival project, adopts a photographic point of view to explore this continuous chapter of Ukrainian history. The exploration comprises pictures taken by officers of various law enforcement agencies during raids and arrests of corrupt persons. The material was collected between 2014 and 2019 from the public social media pages of the agencies and their official websites: images documenting confiscated money, photographed shortly after the capture, for evidence and public relations purposes.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is a digital platform dedicated to independent photobooks, photography publications, design books, and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues.

A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
