Bagajele abandonului

Ultima zi de pace, prima noapte de război

Cum arăta viața în intimitatea blândă din albumele de familie din telefoanele noastre în ziua dinainte ca haosul și ireversibilul războiului să se instaleze?

Instalația digitală Ultima zi de pace, prima noapte de război a fost construită din fotografii pe care ni le-au donat ucraineni și români deopotrivă, împreună cu poveștile ultimelor zile de pace, înainte ca viețile noastre să fie date peste cap de reculul războiului din Ucraina.
