exhibition catalog

Displacement begins long before any journey. It starts when the familiar no longer resonates, when the landscape of memory fractures

and the self must navigate its own interior exile. Artists who leave

their homeland carry this inward migration with them: a quiet rupture that compels them to unlearn, to reconfigure, and ultimately

to root themselves anew.

For many artists forced to exile, this in-between space is neither static nor fully visible. It is a territory where the past lingers yet cannot return, and where the future is fragile, yet ripe with possibility. In this liminal zone, loss is not an endpoint but the precondition for emergence:

for new connections, new forms, and a recalibrated sense of belonging.

The works in ARRIVAL inhabit this threshold. They speak

from the interstices of memory and transformation, tracing

how personal grounding takes shape on unfamiliar soil, how rupture generates new languages, and how identity is continuously remade.

ARRIVAL is not a destination but a process: a place where roots

are not given, but grown, and where the self is realised in motion.

Anastasia Vermeer New Land, 2024

oil on canvas

140 × 100 cm

Edition: 1/1

Price: €4500

3

Anastasia Vermeer, New Land In this work, the nails are depicted as resembling trees,

their tips embedded in dense black soil. They symbolize

the fragile yet persistent process of taking root. The birch-like pattern alludes to memory — to traces of the past

that now become part of a new identity.

The artist is not experiencing loss, but rebirth. The new land

— at first foreign, reserved, and dark — gradually becomes familiar.

It accepts, though not immediately. And in that acceptance,

a new home is born — not a geographic one, but an inner one.

This piece is about the power of adaptation, about the feminine ability to create even in times of rupture, and about how memory

does not hinder progress but becomes a point of grounding.

Anonymous Artist Life was stolen, 2022

watercolor on paper

38x56 cm

Edition: 1/1

Price: €800

5

Anonymous Artist, Life was stolen The artist remains trapped within the borders she cannot cross

— a witness to her own inner exile.

In the image of a screaming girl, her silent outcry takes form:

a rupture between voice and void, between the urge to escape

and the impossibility of departure.

This work becomes not representation, but resonance

— the echo of a freedom deferred, yet still fiercely desired.

Edition: 1/1

Price: €400

7

Arina Lapina, Framing the Present

This work is part of the series Holding Myself, born during a time

of emigration and inner burnout.

The gesture of the hands, as if framing a shot, symbolizes the search for grounding and the desire to regain control over one’s own gaze.

It is a moment of awareness: what do I choose to see,

what do I give meaning to, where do I place my focus?

By painting my own hands, I reminded myself that strength lies

in presence — in the simple act of creating and seeing.

Aysha Demina Accident, 2025

hand weaving

9

Aysha Demina, Accident

Accident is a work about a broken heart and the losses

in life that we encounter along the way.

Here, a road sign is placed in the middle of a field of flowers.

It is also tied to my memories of walking through the village

to a neighboring one in search of household items. All the fabrics

I create carry within them this warmth and these memories of home.

By taking them with me, I realize that I can feel at peace anywhere

in the world — and I wish to share this feeling with those around me.

Bogdan Kravtsov, Борщ зі смета́ною/

Borsch with Sour Cream

I spent my childhood in the city of Svatove in eastern Ukraine,

my father lives near Kupiansk, which was occupied by Russian troops on February 27th.

That's why I left Russia immediately after the war began and settled

in Tbilisi. Georgians openly support Ukraine. This includes numerous Ukrainian flags on houses, inscriptions on walls, screens in transport, badges and ribbons on clothing, fundraising and demonstrations.

And in my series Ukrainian-Georgian Dictionary, I collect popular symbols of Ukrainian culture that I notice in Georgia on everyday objects, on product packaging, and on randomly found things.

This painting is cut out from a milk carton.

Elena Taranenko, Sunlit still life

This still life is part of the Breakfasts series. After moving to Amsterdam following the beginning of the war, I turned to drawing

as a way to ground myself in the present and make sense

of my new surroundings. These breakfast scenes became

more than observations — they transformed into anchor points,

small acts of belonging that helped create a sense of home in exile.

Through everyday details and cultural context, the ordinary becomes

a bridge: between the life left behind and the life being built anew, between displacement and arrival.

Elena Yakimushkina,

Thoughts in My Head - Object #2

Thoughts in My Head is a series of sculptural objects exploring internal states: anxiety, apathy, emotional overload, and the process

of reassembling oneself. I work with contrasts of textures, color,

and volume, using ceramics, threads, wool, and metal

— to visualize what often remains inside.

This piece explores a state of mental overload and anxiety. Red, black, green, and yellow threads stretch across an open ceramic form, representing tangled and conflicting thoughts. The work invites

the viewer to look inside - into a controlled chaos.

Elena Yakimushkina,

Thoughts in My Head - Object #2 This piece explores a state of mental fog and emotional heaviness.

Wool-covered thread and wire spheres fill an open ceramic form,

representing diffused and weighty thoughts. Muted greys

dominate, interrupted by vivid red and neon green — like sudden

intrusions into an otherwise clouded mind.

Elena Yakimushkina,

Thoughts in My Head - Object #3 This piece reflects a state of reaching a breaking point and quiet

repair. A ceramic form, broken into fragments and held together

with metal wire, evokes the sensation of mental overload

and the fragile process of reassembling oneself - piece by piece.

Elena Yakimushkina,

Thoughts in My Head - Object #4

This piece explores the emotional weight of constant media noise

and global events. Pressed down by layers of information,

the form sinks slightly - yet carries on.

Price: €680

23

Galina Ageeva , Garlands of Our Courtyard

Whether in Armenia or Georgia, where we found ourselves

in emigration, this is a scene in every courtyard—garlands reaching

up to the heavens. Even though we were left without a homeland, without a flag: we see those flags of purity flutter everywhere.

Gopal Muni, Barfly

Spending evenings at my friends' bar, not knowing where to go,

not knowing what to expect, in complete uncertainty, I began

to perceive a certain outline of the visitors to the Yerevan bar Tuf.

The bar's guests were a peculiar cross-section of 2022 — emigrants, activists, and refugees fleeing war and repression, musicians

and simply locals drawn to the dim light of a space free

from all hardships. Here I tried to capture the image

of those many people who came to this place daily.

Behind each one was their own story — for some, pain; for others, joy.

Each tried to quench their loneliness and the shared tragedy

in their own way: some in a glass, some in conversation, some in music.

I painted it right there. For a long time, it [the bar] gave refuge

to many wanderers, like a crossroads in an oasis.

Igor Ost Herbarium VII (Panda), 2018

plate lithography, silkscreen

unframed 64 × 48 cm, framed 80x60

Edition: 1/50

Price: €700

27

Igor Ost, Herbarium VII (Panda)

This work is part of the "Herbarium" project, created using a complex printing technique during a creative expedition to China.

I draw upon the aesthetics of 17th–18th century Flemish Vanitas still life and the tradition of herbarium albums. Classical elements—flowers, fruits, skulls—are mixed with symbols of contemporary mass culture, creating a collision between the natural and the human.

Somewhere in the depths of the foliage, we see the skull of an old bear, but a panda, tenderly embracing a plastic toy horse, slowly rocks

in its psychedelic dream, completely unaware of it.

Julia Winter Today, 2011

Julia Winter, Today

Two young sailors — friends, comrades — captured in a vintage photograph from a family archive. Their faces, once vivid,

are now pierced by five violent holes. Blue paint streaks across

the image like waves, censorship, or memory itself trying

to erase what cannot be forgotten.

This work asks: What happened to them? What imprint did their time

in the Navy leave on their lives? The intervention is not destruction,

but inquiry — a gesture of mourning, resistance, and transformation.

The word “МОРФЛОТ” remains, a trace of system and service,

while identity dissolves into absence. In this void, the viewer

is invited to imagine, to remember, to question.

Throughout Julia Winter’s practice, the hidden or damaged face recurs as a metaphor for survival under systems of control

— a way to preserve one’s humanity while concealing it from view.

Here, the act of erasure becomes both an elegy and a quiet rebellion

— a means of holding on to what history tries to forget.

Margarita Yago, Becoming Grounded

I was born and raised in Russia and moved to Israel in 2018,

before settling in Amsterdam, where I currently live and work.

In this work, I tried to express the inner chaos that came

from witnessing wars in both of my homelands, Russia and Israel.

It is a reflection of my struggle to find balance while growing new roots in a world that feels unsteady.

108 × 108 × 10 cm

Edition: 1/1

Price: €4500 33

Marina Wittemann,

After the Black Square

This work draws a direct line from Kazimir Malevich’s Black Square

to the world we live in today. Malevich was born in Ukraine,

a place now under attack, not only by weapons, but by words.

Propaganda spreads like ink through the paper. What was once

a symbol of radical freedom now feels strangely close to silence.

This “square” is made of crumpled newspapers, fragile, seductive, dangerous. It’s beautiful from afar, almost comforting. But come closer: the folds hide language, distortion, control. Truth is there, but bent

and bruised.

It’s not only about war. It’s about how beauty can become a mask.

About what we feel before we understand. And what we see,

or refuse to see, after the black square.

Milada Kopeliovich, Selves

A solitary figure among faceless mannequins — that's me.

Yes, it resembles an obscene meme. But disorientation, feeling lost,

the emotional weight of relocation, constantly reassembling

your identity, starting over in your 30s — all of this can really

fuck you up.

I still feel myself in a liminal space — neither here nor there.

I hold a flower as a symbol of hope for something yet to be found.

Natallia Kasaverskaya No cure for a headache, 2025

mixed media, acrylic, thread, varnish on cotton canvas

100 × 80 cm

Edition: 1/1

Price: €2800

37

Natallia Kasaverskaya, No cure for a headache The painting conveys the idea that power, status, or wealth do not free a person from suffering, anxiety, and inner conflicts. This internal struggle can be seen as a form of internal emigration — an attempt

to find new ground and reconcile with oneself within a reality

that offers no external solutions.

70 × 50 cm

Edition: 1/1

Price: €2500

39

Natalya Radünz, Dialogue

This work embodies a dialogue of opposites — a dynamic interplay reminiscent of neural connections generated by the nervous system.

Black and white intertwine in a delicate balance, echoing duality

and unity. On closer inspection, the neural-like structures shimmer

with subtle iridescent hues, revealed by a special coating.

Dialogue invites viewers to reflect on the invisible conversations

within and between us, mirroring the core themes of Echoes of Infinity: the fluid transitions between opposites and the search for harmony

at the threshold of perception.

Oleksandra Horscroft Wave, 2025

acrylic, canvas

78 × 58 cm

Edition: 1/1

Price: €480

41

Oleksandra Horscroft, Wave

The artist captures an ocean wave at the very peak of its rise

— a moment suspended between gathering momentum and breaking into transformation. Working in a dynamic impressionistic style

with impasto brushstrokes and a rich palette of turquoise, blue,

and white, the painting expresses both the power and beauty

of water in motion.

This wave becomes a metaphor for the experience of arrival:

the liminal state between departure and landing, neither here nor there.

The contrast between foamy spray and deep marine hues mirrors

the tension of crossing — the energy required to traverse uncertain waters toward new shores. Seagulls in flight above suggest freedom and the promise of home beyond the horizon. The texture and vibrancy evoke both the turbulence of the journey and the tranquility of finding solid ground once more.

olo.olooloolo, Home

«A lost burned house reflected in the river with floor blood»

The dense red silhouette of the House turns into long threads flowing downward, as if reflected in a river that blurs its outline and carries away its warmth and support.

The image of loss - the moment when a familiar place disappears, leaving behind only memories.

The embroidery is made on a white table cloth - a symbol of home comfort. Here it becomes a background for the disappearing house, reminding that not only the roof over the head is lost,

but also the atmosphere, which cannot be returned in its entirety.

Sergei Mongayt, Regrowth

Beginning is not only a kind of action. It is also a frame of mind, a kind of work, an attitude, a consciousness.

Edward W. Said

We lost our roots and our soil. But we carried the seeds of our identity with us and are now sprouting them again in the soil of another culture.

Sergey Karev Skis, 2022

stainless steel

100 × 60 × 16 cm

Edition: 1/1

Price: €3850

47

Sergey Karev, Skis

Skis that have taken root — a metaphor for the tension between escape and belonging, movement and stillness, the organic

and the necessity of making decisions.

Homesickness takes root and prevents movement; it is natural.

But once displaced, you search within yourself for the strength

to put down new roots. Having severed them once,

it becomes difficult to grow them again.

Sveta Kaverina The Three of Us, 2025

From the project: The Three of Us

stereo-vario print

59 × 42 cm

Edition: 1/1

Price: €1100

49

Sveta Kaverina, The Three of Us This project grows out of a real but often overlooked facet

of Soviet history: the belief that death could be conquered.

After the 1917 Revolution, some Bolsheviks dreamed not only

of a new society, but of a new humanity — one liberated from aging, illness, and mortality. Scientific texts speculated seriously about resurrecting the dead and engineering eternal life.

The mockumentary imagines a world in which one Soviet immortality experiment quietly succeeded. Its outcome was not a reborn Lenin,

as intended, but three cloned girls, disoriented, unclaimed, and uncertain of their place in a world they were never meant to inherit.

The project draws on the biography of the artist: born in the USSR, shaped by its collapse, and repeatedly redefined through successive emigrations. Each move produced a new version of the self

— split, translated, and partially erased. The three clones

become both fictional characters and living metaphors for fractured identity, the afterlife of ideologies, and the instability of belonging.

Tamara Pashutkin, La Adoración The work "La Adoración" is a direct reference to Spanish artist Francisco de Zurbarán's "Adoración de los pastores", interpreted through the lens of art history and the representation of women in it,

as well as the artist's own bodily experience and experience

of migration.

Tatiana Bulanova, Couch 00001

Project description: "Couch Searching" is a personal

take on the theme of immigration, finding a new home and loneliness

in a big city. At the same time it's a celebration of a long-lasting Berlin tradition of giving one's stuff away, also known as "Zu verschenken'' (German "To give away for free"). One encounters the following scene quite often: an abandoned sofa right in the middle of the street, evicted from the heavens of someone's home's comfort and brought into

the hostile environment of the city.

The set of 24 photos was assembled from 2021 to 2024

and has inevitably gained some conceptual weight, since

I chose one object and aimed at capturing it in its different variations and in all four seasons. An old cheap analog camera was used

to make the process of gathering the material more true to the subject.

To address the dual nature of the images I've added the frames

and decorations that are usually associated with luxury. By doing so,

I show that, when placed in the urban landscape, a simple everyday object acquires some novel unique connotations and provokes

a complex emotional response.

From the project: I, Superhero

gallery Matt print

40x60 cm

Price: €450

55

The Grumpy Heroine,

The Feeling of the Past Calling

A reflection on identity, loss, and resistance in the shadow of war.

Through a feminist lens, the work traces how non-combatants face

the collapse of certainty and how inner strength, however fragile, becomes a form of defiance.

This specific image: "The 'Red Flat' is a replica of a typical Soviet apartment in the museum in Sofia, Bulgaria. The museum serves

as a memorial and nostalgic place full of memories. Our apartment

in St. Petersburg wasn't nearly as well-equipped, but I was immediately taken back to my childhood days right after entering this place.

I, Superhero project is a personal response to the Russian invasion

of Ukraine, speaking to everyone with a Russian background who feels insecure, alone, and overwhelmed as political propaganda becomes reality. The series follows a quixotic feminist protagonist navigating displacement and the search for inner strength in exile.
