Filmverkstaden is proud to present the exhibition ‘Shattered Youth’ with works by our current artists-in-residence, Mariia Dovhan and Oleksii Karpovych.
“Shattered Youth” – a photo exhibition of Artists at Risk residents at Filmverkstaden – artist Maria Dovhan (Ukraine) and photographer Oleksii Karpovych (Ukraine)
Is a joint project, which includes a series of photographs taken during wartime by Oleksii Karpovych and an art project of experimental analog photography by Mariia Dovhan. The series illustrates horrors of war and the terror that Russia inflicts on our country and our people. The project aims to show not only the actual destruction, but also the emotional experience, depression and despair that the majority of Ukrainians are currently experiencing.
