Rostyslav Luzhetskyy. Landscape. Return. 26.05 – 21.06.2026

Rostyslav Luzhetskyy. Landscape. Return. 26.05 – 21.06.2026

📍
Landscape is at the same time the most changeable and the most enduring component of your memory.
It is the longest line of continuity of experience.
Return becomes possible not because space is unchanging — the landscape retained within itself the trace of our presence and at the same time the ability to be recognized, despite war, the dust of time, and even the slow fading of our body.
Rostyslav Luzhetskyi

One of them has already been shown within the group exhibition project “Orizzonti” (Horizon) in Switzerland, organized by the Zenovii Kozytskyi Charitable Foundation in 2023. The rest will be exhibited in Ukraine for the first time.
The opening of the exhibition will take place on May 26 at 18:00.
