UTOPIA
EXHIBITION
For the Utopia exhibition, which showcased the results of a two-year project in Eastern Ukraine exploring identity, culture, and public spaces, we aimed to go beyond simply displaying photos. Instead, we created a gallery environment that mimicked a public space, designed for events and video screenings, emphasizing hospitality and creativity.

Concerned about resource waste, we avoided buying new materials for a one-month installation. The breakthrough came when we discovered discarded window frames outside our workshop, which became the foundation of the design. Alongside creating the furniture, we developed the exhibition’s visual identity, organized the layout for visual documentation, and designed a flexible space for other artists to use.
Together with: Foundation Isolatsia, Izone, Garage Gang, Kod Mista, Ivan Demchenko
