Suzi et Cetera (Part 2) presents a previously unpublished selection of photographs from Boris Mikhailov’s eponymous series taken during the 1960s and 1970s. This period marked the arrival of color photography in the Soviet Union and a shift toward the intimate sphere. Mikhailov describes this series as an “embryo” of all his subsequent work, capturing the exact moment of his transition from an amateur engineer to a professional artist. The images blend quirky visual humor with improvised nudes and fragments of daily life in Kharkiv, offering a subversive look at human personality outside the rigid Soviet system.
