in venice, ukrainian artists reclaim joy with tender force

The first (2023), presented as a two-channel video work by Ukrainian artists Malashchuk & Khimei. They are both shot at a rave in Kyiv, except one of the works was filmed in 2019 and the other a few years after the full scale invasion. Using similar shots, cutting the installation is Dedicated to the Youth of the World II (2019) and Dedicated to the Youth of the World III videos at the same time, and featuring faces with an uncanny resemblance, the duo marry the two screens with the same pulsating score. This choice renders the difference in time inscrutable. The vibe of the rave has, by all appearances, remained the same despite the unspoken event that separates the two. In a sense, the joy prevails.
