About this reported on the festival's Instagram page.
At the center of the project is an installation with a boat, placed at the water level that existed before the reservoir disappeared. Now the boat looks as if it is drowning in the dense thickets of a new forest that has grown rapidly over the past year on the dried-up bottom.
The project's video captures the rhythm of natural changes throughout the year, while photographs capture the passage of time and the formation of a new landscape. At the same time, the area remains mined.

Zhanna Kadyrova worked on the project for two years. Her works are combined with archival materials and documents, as well as works by other artists. This will help to take a deeper look at the history of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, as well as the scale of the flooding and the loss of cultural heritage.
The project will be presented as part of the CTM 2026: Echoes of Tumult exhibition, which will run from January 23 to March 22. Admission is free.
