War-Torn Ukraine
Photographs by Pierre Toutain-Dorbec
Text by Claudia Toutain-Dorbec
Preface by Patrick Vinck and Phuong Pham, Harvard Humanitarian Initiative
Limited availability — only 15 copies remain.
War-Torn Ukraine documents the human consequences of the Russian invasion through Pierre Toutain-Dorbec’s black-and-white photographs, accompanied by text by Claudia Toutain-Dorbec.
The photographs portray not only the destruction of war, but the resilience of people living through it. Men, women, and children continue to seek solace in music, art, family, neighbors, and even strangers. Ordinary life persists alongside devastation—in work, relationships, marriages, births, and moments of hope.
Patrick Vinck and Phuong Pham of the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative write that Toutain-Dorbec’s photographic account is likely to become part of the collective memory of the Russian invasion and its consequences for civilians. Their preface considers the photographs as testimony to both the suffering and humanity of people whose lives have been transformed by war.
Photographs from this body of work were also exhibited at Harvard University in connection with an invited presentation by Pierre Toutain-Dorbec.
Paperback — 130 pages
Black-and-white photography printed in duotone
8 × 10 in. (20.3 × 25.4 cm), portrait format
ISBN 978-1-7360311-9-3
