    Occupation (2015) | 2015

My family photo archive remains in Donetsk, Ukrainian city occupied by Russian terrorists. I might never see it again. It might not exist anymore when I’m writing this text or when you will be reading it. All I can do to preserve it in my memory is to reconstruct at least those photos which I still remember. Reconstruct using any available materials and photos of other people no longer needed by their original owners. Occupy somebody else’s memorabilia exactly the same way my own were occupied.
