The return

Where does the heritage of past generations go and what is hidden behind the human tireless pursuit of "progress" and development? What do tons of water created by a careless human hand hide, contrary to all natural laws? - entire historical epochs, human lives deprived of homes, deprived of shelter and forcibly torn away from their origins? The series is about the historical memory that emerges from the water column, despite all those who deny it. Great Meadow (Velykyi Luh), the cradle of the Zaporizhzhia Cossacks, is a place that has been hiding Ukrainian historical heritage and memory for decades. The Kakhovka Dam was built in 1956 and destroyed by the Russian occupiers in June 2023. After the water was released, many historical artifacts were found. Created during an artistic residency in Lugano.
