CURRENT PROJECTS
Apocalypse
The Beginning
“Apocalypse. The Beginning” is an expansive outdoor exhibition showcasing nearly 100 powerful photographs captured by some of the world’s finest photographers. These images vividly portray the most tragic moments from the initial months of the great conflict sparked by Russian aggression against the peaceful Ukrainian people.
This collection provides a unique glimpse into the atrocities committed by the Russian army on Ukrainian soil, juxtaposed with the unparalleled courage displayed by ordinary Ukrainians. The exhibition serves as a visual testament to the resilience of the Ukrainian people in the face of adversity.
For a more inclusive experience, the interactive gallery offers multiple language versions, allowing visitors to engage with the poignant narratives in their preferred language.
The Four Horsemen
of the Apocalypse
A Great Project
Preparations are underway for what is poised to be the most illustrious photo shoot in the annals of photography, set to unfold in Ukraine. Anticipated to feature a hundred of the world’s most renowned personalities, “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse” stands as an unprecedented charity art project with a noble mission—to aid Ukrainian children who have suffered limb loss due to the war of aggression initiated by the Russian people.
A star-studded ensemble, including luminaries such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Madonna, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Sylvester Stallone, Bill Gates, Gabriela von Habsburg, Sigourney Weaver, Denzel Washington, Sergey Brin, Clint Eastwood, Mark Zuckerberg, JK Rowling, Ben Hodges, and other illustrious figures, has been extended invitations to partake in this cutting-edge photo shoot. The project serves as a poignant reflection of contemporary society’s commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those affected by conflict and strife.
Symphony of Iron
Transforming Ashes of War into Art
In the profound allegory of the phoenix’s rebirth lies a universal narrative that transcends borders, inspiring nations across the globe. It imparts a poignant moral, echoing through the chronicles of history: in the aftermath of calamity, there emerges not only new life but the promise of fresh beginnings.
Within the heart-wrenching crucible of Ukraine’s ongoing struggle, a nation finds itself engulfed in the relentless fires of what feels like a ceaseless war. Amidst crumbling structures, the premature loss of young lives, the mournful cries of mothers, and the forced concealment of the next generation within the refuge of train tunnels, a parallel to the phoenix narrative unfolds. It is a testament to the enduring human spirit, a resilient flame flickering in the shadows, with the hope that one day, like the phoenix, they too will rise from the ashes.
