With Katya Buchatska, Teta Tsybulnyk
Peilung, a series initiated last year by Lada Nakonechna and Bettina Klein to provide Ukrainian artists, filmmakers, and scholars a platform for presenting their work and forum for discussion, will also take place this year.
Presented within the framework of Common Ground, Peilung #4 focuses on the impacts of the war on Ukraine’s landscapes and ecosystems with a film screening followed by a panel discussion. Already threatened by intensive industrial use and climate change, the country’s lakes, marshes, forests, and steppes, have suffered further damage and permanent contamination since the beginning of the Russian invasion as a result of bombings, mines, and chemicals. Of course, these irreparable, long-term consequences not only impact Ukraine, but also pose a threat to the entire world especially with respect to the occupation and potential destruction of nuclear power plants by Russian troops.
Filmmaker Teta Tsybulnyk will present Zong (2019), a film co-produced with Elias Parvulesco and Svitlana Pototska focusing on the Zamglai Nature Reserve, one of Ukraine’s largest marshlands: a place charged with fear in the folklore of agrarian communities, an exploited landscape during the industrial age, and a natural carbon sink in the context of climate change.
This World Is Recording (2023) is the title of artist Katya Buchatska’s new video work reflecting on the planting of bomb craters and their potential function as future memorials of this war.
Dr. Mariia Fedoruk will present the research project “Nature Conservation and Conflict in Ukraine: Determining War Damages to Nature Reserves in Ukraine”, supported by the German Federal Environmental Foundation and organized by the Sustainable Development and Climate Change-Management Research and Transfer Center of the HAW in Hamburg-Bergedorf, which she has been involved with since fleeing Ukraine.
In addition to the works of panel participants mentioned above, works by Ksenia Hnylytska (News from the future, 2022), Daryna Mamaisur (a steppe with rabbits and pheasants running around, and where some even saw foxes, 2020), and Sasha Burlaka (The Big Wild Field, 2022),will also be presented in the daadgalerie studio.
