What We Lost in the Water

Yellow Prince is based on research into the intersection of imperial ideologies, hunger politics, and the economy of violence in non-linear time. The title references the novel by Ukrainian author Vasyl Barka, which depicts the figure of death. The work traces the spiral course of history across its tragic chapters – the genocide of Crimean Tatars and Holodomor, extermination by hunger. These struggles are echoing today louder than ever before, while fascist ideologies and scale of terror are again rapidly reaching their zenith. The work picks up the pieces of fractured and scattered narratives from the past, put them together and see the pattern perfectly matching with politics pursued by imperialist aggressors today.
