Mikhaylo Palinchak, from Bilateral Rooms series, Eastern Partnership Summit, Brussels, Belgium, 2017

In this series, Palinchak reveals a look at the everyday spaces where some of the world’s most influential figures come together to make crucial decisions that shape the lives of millions of people. Palinchak opens the closed door to the negotiation rooms where the action takes place, exploring the paradoxes that come from using temporary spaces that look like any other conference room to make the choices that permanently shift the course of the world.
