Piece composed for an art installation made for exhibition "Let it shine. Beyond VEHA photographic archive".

Description:

Untitled - printed cotton voile (500x130 cm), music piece for zither, 2023

"Olga Anna Markowska’s installation is inspired by the album Ludzi Lesu (People of the Forest) from the VEHA archive. Using a photomontage technique, the artist created an image composed of portraits of all the people whose photographs appeared in the aforementioned collection. The resulting image was reproduced and printed on fabric, creating patterns reminiscent of those once found on self-made carpets. Markowska focuses on the human element of the archive, emphasising its social dimension. By combining portraits into a whole, the artist restores anonymity to the photographed people. The work is complemented by an original musical composition for zither, created on the basis of Belarusian folk songs dedicated to nature combined with field recordings of bird sounds. In Markowska’s installation, nature is not contrasted with culture. The two areas, whose basic and most important elements are multiplicity and changeability, complement each other."

Piece composed for a video work HEIMAT made by Lesia Pcholka.

"The reality we live in is one of repression, war, refugees, endless violence. A mass of faceless currents that turn into a stream of news from the East. It is unbearable to compare your suffering with the suffering of others. Memory is an unstable emotion, it is a social convention. Refugees are living memorials, without a voice, without a future and without a past."
