Q+A: AIDS in Odessa with Photographer Andrea Diefenbach
- story THE FADER
The Ukraine has the most new cases of AIDS infection in Europe and is amongst the nations in the world where the disease is spreading most quickly.
Andrea Diefenbach’s series of intimate and personal portraits deliver a remarkable and poignant photographic study of the epidemic there.
Photographer, and regular FADER contributor Krisanne Johnson, whose own long-term work centers on AIDS, both in America (see her work about young African-American women with the disease in The Conundrum from FADER 57) and in Swaziland, spoke with Diefenbach about the project, which has been published as a book, AIDS in Odessa with a corresponding show at ClampArt, New York up now through June 6th.
