A three-hour sound work for Maria Kulykivska’s exhibition MY BODY IS A BATTLEFIELD at the Pax Christi Church, Krefeld, Germany. April — June 2026. Curated by Sebastian Blasius.
Built from field recordings gathered across Kyiv in late May and stitched by Maria’s processed breath. An immersive layer accompanying her sculptures, casts of her own body with bullet marks.
Kyiv breathes like a city of contradictions, beats like the scarred heart, holds together like a patchwork of hopes. Here, the mundane overlaps with the eternal, and birdsong pierces modern noise. “What is your favorite thing?” Maria asks on the recording. Her daughter Eva replies, “Everything!” That’s Kyiv in 2026.

Video from Bullets of Flowers pavilion, shot by Maria Kulykivska.
Auditory landscape for Bullets of Flowers pavilion at the 2026 Malta Biennale. Collaboration with Maria Kulykivska and the Garage33 Gallery-Shelter team. Birgu Old Armory, March 11 — May 29.
The sound environment draws from two sources: the recording of Valentyn Silvestrov’s Sonata of Sorrow and Curse, performed by Yevhen Gromov, and voice and field recordings by Maria and Maksym. Push the sound into a wilder realm while holding the line to Silvestrov’s melodic meditations. This alloy of materials and methods carries the weight of their intimate, harsh, and socially catalytic work.

Multimedia installation by Polina Choni, Teta Tsybulnyk, and Maksym Razdobudko. The project treats the myth of Penelope as the labor of a psyche during war. Art (Choni), psychoanalysis (Tsybulnyk), and sound (Razdobudko) trace the paths of dreams and memory.
