Responding to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Piotr Szyhalski began drawing WAR REPORTS. This Labor Camp Report series started in 2020 & continues daily, this ongoing body of work serves as a way of witnessing and recording the experience of “extreme historical phenomenon” unfolding in real time. Although addressing specific conflicts, many of the WAR REPORTS operate on a more universal level condemning war and militarism while drawing our attention to the plight of civilians and refugees.
Piotr Szyhalski is a Polish-born and trained multimedia artist working in the United States since 1990. Piotr has produced poster designs, mail art, photographs, painted murals, prints, web-based digital art, sound art, large installations, and public performances. Since 1998 he has worked under the pseudonym Labor Camp.
