Icons on Ammo Boxes: Transforming Death into Life

This exhibition displays the work of Kyiv artists Sonya Atlantova and Oleksandr Klymenko. The project aims to transform death, as symbolised by the ammunition boxes, into life, which in Ukrainian culture is traditionally personified by an icon. Thus, the Russian war against Ukraine is understood against the background of Ukrainian and even European history of the last millennium. The boxes on which the icons are written are brought from the war zone. In this way, the icons written on their fragments are silent but eloquent witnesses of this war. Monday to Friday 9:30am – 4:30pm.
