This summer, under special permission from the Ukranian government, Maxim left the country for the first time in over a year and a half to travel to France during the Rencontres d’Arles photography festival, where he delivered a powerful presentation and urgent appeal in the town’s Antique Theatre. We caught him at the Van Gogh Foundation in Arles, where he told us about photographing a war-torn Ukraine.
