Ensemble: A Historical Landscape of War
A Historical Landscape of War (with a reflection by Yevhenii Monastyrskyi)
The point of departure for the opening space is a historical landscape of war, positioning the current Russo-Ukrainian war in relation to the First and Second World Wars. Yarema Malashchuk and Roman Khimei bring together Berlinde De Bruyckere’s reflection on physicality (WWI) and Jan Cox’s psychological challenge (WWII) with the layered digital reality of today and its unresolved tension between real and fake, between experience and framing.
Jan Cox (Netherlands + Belgium, 1919-1980), Berlinde De Bruyckere (Belgium, 1964), Yarema Malashchuk (Ukraine, 1993) & Roman Khimei (Ukraine, 1992)
