COBBLESTONE IN A TOTE BAG
2023
36-slide projection

Taking aesthetically pleasing pictures of food is a common practice among hipster youth. And especially, taking pictures on a color film. 36 slides document dirty dishes after going "for a coffee" in various popular coffee shops around Ukraine. But at some point, the glitch is happening in the peaceful images in a film roll, and the coffee cup transforms into the cobblestones. This revolutionary symbol tries to convey the politicization of 3rd wave coffee shops in Ukraine, where the young generation is constantly sculpting the image of the future between the tables. They're calmly drinking coffee now, but they know, that at some point abstract conversations must turn into political action.
