Destroyed by shooting and burned-out, abandoned housing estates as a
terrible image of war, as a terrible image of the devastation of the landscape,
the cultural landscape. Landscapes without people, Earth without people. Painting
– the work is created on a canvas that is freely suspended in space. A
black frame defines the space. The painting is painted with Chinese ink in
combination with natural charcoal and acrylic. It is burned with fire,
a symbol of destruction, a symbol of war. One match is enough and
the canvas burns completely. Everything is ephemeral – paintings, memories, human
lives... The painting is complemented by fragments, parts of weapons and war
equipment directly from the battlefield in Ukraine. In the middle of the
painting hangs a pendulum. The pendulum of time, the pendulum of life and
death. Its heart is made of shrapnel from Russian
ammunition.
