Favorite Places (2009)

Ivan Melnychuk documents the changes in Kyiv, focusing on the ruins of buildings constructed from the late 60s for workers. As an architect, he observes the ‘improvements’ of public spaces, highlighting small gestures common in Ukraine. These actions, driven by pragmatism, involve occupying spaces without considering broader effects, reflecting a persistent situation where public spaces are subtly manipulated.
