Lesia Vasylchenko's 'Children of Infinity' at Adiacenze, Bologna

exhibition · 2026-04-26

In Bologna at Adiacenze, Lesia Vasylchenko presents her exhibition titled 'Children of Infinity,' which is curated by Amerigo Mariotti and Giorgia Tronconi. This exhibition explores the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine through different perspectives on time. It examines four aspects: the fleeting moments needed for safety, natural recovery cycles, a bleak future, and the rapid spread of information. One installation features a video with an air raid siren and a fleeing family. Another piece, 'Chronosphere,' envisions a 'Court of Time' for non-human victims. Collaborating with the Osservatorio Radioastronomico di Medicina, Vasylchenko's sci-fi work centers on a radar searching for alien signals. The ongoing exhibition also includes a stamp collection that contrasts Soviet space propaganda with real events.
