Transitus
Curatorial team: Alina Hubarenko, Viktoria Rozentsveih and Yuliia Rozentsveih

"Transitus" is a Latin word meaning transition', and the exhibition brings together three artists from different regions of Ukraine - Alina Hubarenko, Viktoria Rozentsveih and Yuliia Rozentsveih - who met in Kassel. Their personal experiences form a common field for artistic reflections on the state of transit - physical, emotional and existential.

Against the backdrop of a large-scale invasion and a protracted war, the concepts of home, stability, security and identity have lost their stability. Instead, there is an experience of discontinuity, of temporality, of living on the edge - between past and present, here and there, presence and absence. Although this experience is unique to each artist, it is echoed in all the works in the exhibition and creates a subtle interweaving of the common and the personal, transforming the exhibition space into a field of search in which opposites coexist: Memory and oblivion, comfort and discomfort, the material and the ghostly. The artists focus on the themes of changing identities, the need for redefinition and the attempt to preserve what is disappearing. l he particularities of memory, the echo of the past and the juxtaposition of opposites form the visual language of" Transit' - an intermediate space in which the new has not yet happened, but the old has not yet disappeared.

The peculiarities of memory, the echo of the past and the juxtaposition of opposites form the visual language of "transit' - an intermediate space in which the new has not yet happened, but the old is no longer there. Through graphics, painting, sculpture and installation, the artists speak about their perceptibly fragile presence in the world.
