Maxim Dondyuk

Maxim Dondyuk is a Ukrainian visual artist specialising in documentary photography. His work explores history, memory, war and its consequences, combining photography, film, text and historical material. For him, each project is a long immersion in its surroundings, a replaying of experiences and a form of meditation.

His honours include the Lucie Award for International Photographer of the Year. He was a finalist for the Prix Pictet and the W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography, and was selected in Magnum Photos' 30 Under 30 for emerging documentary photographers.

In 2022 House of Lucie Budapest presented his photographs of the Russian invasion of Ukraine together with winning images from the Ukraine Moments campaign. The opening was attended by the Ukrainian Ambassador to Hungary.
