"Epilogue" by Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky

"Hope is the feeling, which is born in a sole while watching or feeling or imagining the good future, which is hard but still possible to be reached…"

"33"
video, object, 2015

33
33 steps to fall down and never stand up
33 days of wait of the wife and the sun
33 km from Kielce
33 and the end
Once I find a tomb of a stranger in a garden. Kielce. 33 years, death from bullet to the head, the name is known. Is founded. Is already forgotten. 33 years is the age of Jesus Christ in the moment of death.

Burnt by the Sun
video 1 min.
site-specific

Short, founded movie stills form the “Burnt by the Sun” (the original title is left purposely)
Is an attempt to analyze the phenomenon of widely spread sentiment, typical for Post-Soviet countries of USSR (Poland, the PPR ). In this work we purposely got rid of all topics of rehabilitation or justification, which are present in the original Mikhalkov’s work.
The fiery ball – is the name of the Sun (Stalin), breaks the glass of the old faded photo. What is burnt (faded) is the naïve hope that once during the old regime it was better, than now. 

The work consists of a tripod on top of which there is a projector mounted to a dirty mirror. The mirror has got a round rubbed out spot, there is also a reflection of a video fragment projected on the opposite wall. The projection shows a video documentation of a tank launching a rocket i Donbas region. It clearly documents the setting of dust and smoke after the launch. This fragment has been edited and prolonged. It takes 5 minutes to watch. As a result, the method of image representation is divided into two parts: one: on a dirty surface of the mirror (the tank, a part of a trench and landscape), and two: the image is reflected by clear parts of the mirror, and it shines on the wall opposite (part of the landscape, tree and sky). On the wall, there is drawing of trees before the launch, it matches the projected image. After the launch, the image of the tree remains, but it is moved. With time, the trees return to their original contour and the image evokes a moment of peace. The video is accompanied every 7 minutes by a loud shot. The work refers to situation of permanent repetition of dramatic events In time when after a violent explosion there is a long period of emotional – informative setting of dust. What follows is the moment of peace and short – lived silence.

"Potential Energy", from "Clear Threat"
interactive video installation, 2012 / version II 2016

Standing in front of a group of young people the artist is creating a dual feelings and emotions. Potential energy could grow into action. Mass could cause construction or destruction, could instigate creation of new values or destroy current.
From the form of future creation and how it will be perceived it depends our involvement to any of sides. The context makes new fields of fantasy. This work has both social and political measurements and refers though not literally to events which gave positive changes in Ukraine and hope for freedom.
