What is More Important?

Year: 2014

Presented at:  "High Castle-2014" (Lviv, Ukraine)

Elections to the Verkhovna Rada in 2014. War in the country, economic crisis is growing. Colored election campaign tents with heaps of wastepaper on the country squares. Really?! No money for winter ammunition for soldiers? Volunteers collecting money for ambulances’ petrol and buying first-aid kits? Feeding people with advertisements and covering the city with political posters is just the peak of patriotism at that moment. Black masks as a symbol of deceased are competing with a collage of election campaign ads. Absurdity of the situation reaches critical level. Paradox of nationwide level.
