"Odesa" is a collection of works by Yelena Yamchuk, a multi-talented artist from Ukraine. Even amid the chaotic 1990s American rock scene, Yamchuk created a distinctive world and rose to fame through her collaboration with the Smashing Pumpkins, one of the most successful alternative bands in the world. Recently, in 2022, while her hometown was at war with Russia, she released "yYY," a collection of her personal archive of photographs and paintings. Her appeal lies in her blending teenage and other subcultural images with documentary and artistic influences. This collection features images taken in Odessa, Ukraine's third-largest port city. "It's a city of acceptance, but also danger. A city full of jokes and individuality, a city inhabited by outlaws and intellectuals," she describes as describing the appeal of Odessa. It holds a special place in Yelena's heart, having immigrated there at a young age. The timing of this release, amid the devastation wrought by the war, speaks volumes. 2nd printing.
