Vitaly Yankovy’s mixed-media installation 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 / 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦 is an eerie reflection on the hybridity of landscapes and public space. Metal structures of mass-produced furniture quietly intrude the forest scenery and unsettle the image of a pristine wilderness.
Vitaly Yankovy is a multidisciplinary artist from Vinnytsia, Ukraine, currently based in Bucharest, Romania. He works with video essays, animation, 3D, drawing, readymades, sculpture and sound. Yankovy’s practice builds around hybrid landscapes, which consist of both physical and digital objects through the optics of nonhuman and posthuman studies. In recent works, he also researches performative ways of more-than-human communication.
𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 / 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘴𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘦 is part of the project Becoming After Ruin.
The Becoming After Ruin project is implemented by Suprainfinit Gallery with support of IZOLYATSIA foundation, Trans Europe Halles and Malý Berlín and co-financed by the ZMINA:Rebuilding program, created with the support of the European Union under a dedicated call for proposals to support Ukrainian displaced people and the Ukrainian Cultural and Creative Sectors.
