Three steel sculptures, water, black dye
This installation revisits the architecture of my post-Soviet childhood. Three metal sculptures - a swing, a slide, and a rocket are reconstructed from memory, based on the standardised playgrounds that can be found across Ukraine and the former USSR.
Installed on the second floor of a 19th-century building, the room was temporaily flooded with black water, transforming the playground into a hauntingly infinite landscape.
