One of the most ubiquitous sights in any city around the world is the humble park bench: a meeting spot for friends, a place to grab lunch or perhaps a smoke, and maybe a quick snooze. Usually, such mundane activities fade easily into the background of our busy lives and we would hardly stop to notice the goings on around a small public meeting spot, but for Ukrainian photographer Yevgeniy Kotenko, one such bench has turned into the rich body of photography spanning over a decade titled On the Bench.
In a working-class suburb of Kyiv, friends gatherโฆ
Lovers meetโฆ
And drinkers drink.
