INTERCEPTED

2024, Canada/Ukraine/France

Oksana Karpovych

In 2022, the Ukrainian intelligence service recorded a number of telephone conversations between Russian soldiers and their relatives. Oksana Karpovych overlays scenes of everyday life in a country scarred by the war of aggression with some of these conversations. We see destruction and devastation; and amidst all that, people who want to continue living. We hear confessions of war crimes, descriptions of psychological demise and clarification of lies propagated by state media. INTERCEPTED is a vital political work of art and, not to forget, one with disturbing content.

Ein verlassener, beschädigter Raum mit umgeworfenen roten Stühlen, zerrissenen Vorhängen, die durch zerbrochene Fenster wehen, Schutt auf dem Boden und einem bunten Wandgemälde an der Rückwand. Ein herunterhängendes Deckenpaneel unterstreicht den Zustand der Verwahrlosung.
