Oksana Chepelyk, Ute Weiss-Leder

Project name: "Range"

Short description of the project.

The collaborative "Range" project of Oksana Chepelyk and Ute Weiss-Leder is decided as an artistic attempt to determine, personify and generalize the European dialogue in the changed geopolitical and cultural conditions.

It used to be a common statement that the last 10 years in Europe are the time of fundamental geopolitical and cultural changes.

Installation is erected in the center of rectangular hall with an angle of the 15 degrees. It is composed of two rows of transparent films 300 x 460 cm, situated with the slight shift from one to another. Every side is composed of 10 transparent bands of 300 x 46 cm, on the first side of which there is the images of Berlin, and the images of Kiev on the other.
