Through artists living in Ukraine, we will collect and catalog fragments, rubble of houses, objects, pieces of the world, remnants of a life gone by. Sounds, words and artefacts, bearing witness to what remains, become relics transported to another place.
The collection will take place in a public venue in Kyiv. Each fragment will be narrated, and each narrative catalogued.
One artist, one work, one relic.
From Kyiv, the relics, duly safeguarded, will be transported and placed, as if in a purification ritual, during the opening event of the Venice Biennale, amongst the canals, bridges, calle and Gardens of the Serenissima.
