Ielyzaveta Okhrimchuk – Marevo
by Ielyzaveta Okhrimchuk
Marevo is a phenomenon in which the air appears to shimmer or dissolve, making perception unstable. In Ukrainian, the word also designates a state of in-between. This is precisely what this project explores: a series of photographs made during the artist's return to Kyiv, their hometown, in March 2026, which documents how people live in a state of permanent suspension — between destruction and daily life, between before and after, between knowing and not knowing. The installation presents two scales of images: smaller photographs showing traces of war, larger ones illustrating how life continues alongside it. Not as opposites, but as two simultaneous realities.
