The exhibitions in Zaporizhzhia and Norwich feature a photographic object, performative film (shot in Bulgaria during Process Space 2025 festival and curated by Maryna Hutz), and large installation. This installation is largely made of adobe, a material traditionally used in various cultures for construction, symbolising the need for collective labor as an act of mutual support.
Artist creates conditions for dialogue between the gallery spaces in Ukraine and the UK. Viewers in Norwich and Zaporizhzhia become co-habitors of a shared landscape, formed through co-presence and mutual sensitivity. Making Oddkin is the search for new forms of closeness and responsibility between cultures, based on shared values and care.”As I mixed the adobe myself — from clay, straw, water, and grain ash — I could physically feel how fragile particles formed a whole. This action crystallises the main idea of the project: our recovery is only possible through unity. In the context of war, the
opportunity to create an atypical kinship takes on a deeply personal meaning for me. With this project, I seek to form a new body — a shared Ukrainian-British landscape in which viewers in both countries become not just witnesses, but participants — bearers of memory and hope for rebirth.”
