Between 2014 and 2017, Jérôme Sessini photographed Ukraine as political upheaval became sustained conflict. *Inner Disorder: Ukraine 2014–2017* concentrates on those three years, when events unfolded along the fraught geopolitical boundary between Europe and Russia. Rather than reducing the period to a succession of confrontations, Sessini records how war enters the ordinary field of experience and unsettles its rhythms.

The book brings photographs and text into close relation. Scenes of violence and upheaval sit beside intervals marked by waiting, fatigue, quiet, and boredom. This movement between extremes is central to the work: life continues within conflict, while conflict steadily reshapes the appearance of daily life. Sessini’s physical proximity to events gives the pictures urgency, yet the recurring presence of recognizable faces and commonplace gestures resists the distancing effect of conventional news imagery.

That tension—between historical event and lived duration—distinguishes the project. The photographs do not make disorder spectacular for its own sake. They ask the reader to remain with its contradictions: brutality and inertia, public crisis and private experience, death and the persistence of routine. The accompanying writing extends this documentary position, placing individual images within an account sustained across several years rather than treating them as isolated moments.

Published by RM in 2021, this first-edition hardcover comprises 224 pages. For a collector of documentary photography, conflict photography, or contemporary photobooks, its importance lies in the concentrated span of its record and in the way the monograph preserves relationships that can disappear when photographs circulate separately. *Inner Disorder* offers neither a detached chronology nor a simplified emblem of Ukraine, but a closely observed study of how a society experiences conflict from within.
