Haus Berneburg. Kassel, Germany 2024

The solo exhibition of Ukrainian artist Viktoriia Rozentsveih presents a project based on photographs from the artist's own archive depicting the landscapes of the Kherson region, where she is from. The themes of home, loss, memory, and personal experience have been central to the artist's practice since the beginning of the full-scale war.
The exhibition explores the fragility of memory, the severance of ties and being on the border between spaces. This is a place where the past becomes fragmented and the future remains uncertain, where memory becomes a conditional refuge, but at the same time moves away. The exhibition addresses the question of not belonging to any space - neither to the past nor to the present, neither to home nor to a new place in exile. Memory is presented here as something unstable and changeable - torn between attempts to preserve the past and the impossibility of fully recreating it. The landscape is constantly slipping away, remaining blurred and fragmented, reminding us of its inaccessibility.
The loss of one's place and roots creates a feeling of not belonging. The space between the past and the present becomes a field of convention as well as a real one, where there is no longer a safe place.
