Screenings : Part of Main Exhibition

20:00 – 20:45 Short Film and Q&A

Yaroslava Krutova Ukraine, 1993
WHEN TOMATO BECOMES A PIECE OF CAKE
Video

Displaced by the unfolding situation in Ukraine, Yaroslava’s evocative video piece reveals her journey of adjustment and introspection in the Netherlands. The work bridges two contrasting worlds: her tangible daily existence and a profound internal space shaped by her displacement. As the main character, she navigates life with a Dutch host family, leading to shifts in habits, appearance, and self-perception, and an ensuing inner conflict.

Sound plays a critical role, capturing fluctuating emotions and echoing traditional Ukrainian melodies, symbolizing the cultural heritage she brings to her new environment. This piece raises questions about the nature of ‘home’: is it a place or an emotional state? In seeking a fresh identity in unfamiliar surroundings, is there a risk of losing oneself?

How does one redefine ‘home’ amidst the tumult of displacement?

The Colours of Trees

D

In a world grappling with climate disasters and societal injustices, two women navigate the challenges of invisibility and isolation. Marina’s work interlaces the harsh truths of our environment — forest fires in Greece and floods in Germany — with the personal struggles of women seeking connection in times of crisis.

Through documentary-style elements, the film underscores the parallels between societal neglect and our planet’s distress, suggesting that solidarity might be the key to overcoming both.

How do you maintain your sense of “home” in a world constantly threatened by looming disasters?
