ART EXHIBITIONS
PROJECTIO

One of a kind photo exhibit by Youry Bilak
Youry Bilak, a French photographer of Ukrainian origin. The photos are part of the Projectio project at the Second Floor Art Center located at the Administration of the President of Ukraine. Bilak’s camera has captured the Revolution of Dignity (Euromaidan) and the war with Russia as well as contemporary Ukrainian history of the last two years. The photos come to life through images of paintings by the great artists – Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt van Rijn, and Vincent van Gogh. The Big Bang, the paintings of the past epochs and the photographs of Ukraine today create a historical axis with the viewer at its center. It is the viewer who finds himself at the canvas once designed by the Grand Creator. The very canvas that artists of different ages try to recreate time and time again. See map.

by KULE Folklore Centre, Edmonton
