photo project | 2019

The project explores the contrasting perceptions of the landscapes of Donbas, an industrial region in Ukraine. The first part of the project presents archives of various types of coal and minerals from the collection of the Lysychansk Museum of Coal Industry. However, unlike the official exhibition, this re-imagined archive includes samples of mine spoil, highlighting the contrast between what is considered valuable and what is not. The other archive consists of samples collected from the base of the soil heap, with their value remaining uncertain.
