" Implementation. Units " (2022) Original Drawing by Marya

This art work was made during Russia's war against Ukraine and with the theme of this war. Constant air alarms, explosions, deaths of people and terrible injuries - this is the new reality in which Ukrainians currently live. This work is a reflection on violence and sacrifice.
The work appears as a clash between bureaucratic order and physical vulnerability. A cold, precise table labelled ‘Realisation’ sets the language of accounting, control and measurement — as if life were reduced to columns and units. Against this backdrop, a soft, almost leather- or fabric-like form sags, losing its structure, like a body or a shell deprived of support.
This work consists of individual sheets of A4 paper, which are glued together with adhesive tape. Along the gluing line, the picture can be bent and folded like an accordion, like a brochure. I am using this opportunity to mail this picture. When you receive this picture, it will be folded like a brochure A4. The picture must be expanded and placed in a graphic frame. This can be easily done by yourself or in any baguette studio.
