»This series of collages was made when I moved to Lviv in Sept. 2022. I was trying to get back to daily life and several times I thought: Almost like in Kharkiv. Here I met people from my native city who were in the same state of mind. I took film pictures, printed them, cut them, and put them together once again and asked the portrayed people to write an association or a memory of Kharkiv. This series is an attempt to trace my memories and feelings, depicting a borderline state between the past and the present which is hard to accept. The text turns images into the performative act of contact. These people share their feelings and dreams with us.« – Jura Golik

The exhibition is an initiative of the »Office Ukraine. Shelter for Ukrainian Artists« in cooperation with MuseumsQuartier
