“Dreamers”

Sergey Stroitelev, photographed in Germany This project is dedicated to queer couples and families who left Russia after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, fleeing inhumane laws and social homophobia. Through exhibitions held in several German cities, visitors encountered portraits and stories of couples who now live in Germany. The project also includes archival photographs from their previous lives and diary entries, offering insight into the emotional states of the protagonists and the worlds they left behind.
