In more than four hundred photographs taken between 1997 and 1999 Boris Mikhailov paid homeless people in the Ukraine to reveal their bodies to his lens. He says of the series, titled Case History, "We as spectators are the ones who are humiliated and degraded by the confrontation, exposed to a truth we cannot walk away from and cannot bear to share...I wanted to copy or perform the same relations which exist in society between a model and myself."
