Boris Mikhailov’s Parliament series, exhibited at Dallas Contemporary (Fall 2018) offers a compelling interrogation of mediated political imagery. Originally presented at the Ukrainian Pavilion during the 57th Venice Biennale (May–November 2017), this body of work featured digitally photographed stills of European parliamentary debates, abstracted and fractured to the point of unrecognizability. Through these disrupted images, Mikhailov echoes Renaissance compositional strategies even as he underscores how today’s 24-hour news cycle fosters confusion, distrust, and depersonalization in public discourse.
