Kononova – Radiations of War

‘Radiations of War’ traces the persistent presence of war in Ukraine in an encounter with a terrain where disaster continues after its impact. Since March 2022, Yana Kononova has lived and worked in areas affected by active fighting, places once occupied by Russian troops, or locations that have suffered the terror of rocket attacks. Kononova documents war crimes, revealing destroyed civilian infrastructure, the efforts of emergency services, and the bodies of fallen soldiers and civilians. War does not end when the sound of explosions fades. It lingers, saturating the land and settling into the silence of devastated landscapes. The land becomes witness and archive.
