The audiovisual installation is the result of the collaborative work of artists from Ukraine and Germany.

Comprising three distinct movements, this composition provides a multifaceted exploration of life in contemporary Ukraine amidst the war. These movements include:

• a global perspective as seen through the optics of international news;
• an intimate portrayal from the viewpoint of Ukrainians;
• an individual artistic interpretation, offering a unique vision.

The work is a blend of audiovisual elements from the city of Kyiv, field recordings, and personal reflections with the stream of global media, mirroring the complexities of everyday life during the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The artists also used an artificial intelligence model as a unique component of the audio part, which complements the work with meta-sound, which resides between the sound waves of Ukrainian words and the daily sounds of the city environment.
