The Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum will host an exhibition by the young Ukrainian artists, Roman Khimei and Yarema Malashchuk, from 3 March to 21 June 2026, which explores how the Russian invasion of Ukraine has reshaped the public space.
Using surveillance footage from Kyiv, the winners of the Curatorial Prize at OFFSCREEN Paris reveal how everyday rhythms and democratic structures have been fractured as a result of the violence and material pressures of war. Their work exposes the fragility of peace, the beauty of emergency situations and the uneasy co-existence of forgetting and remembering, reminding us that the connections of conflict define identity just as powerfully as geography.
Roman Khimei & Yarema Malashchuk have been film-makers and visual artists since 2016, analysing the intersections between documentary and fiction to address Ukraine’s recent history and present. Their work examines the legacy of post-imperial power structures and their impact on a new generation of Ukrainian citizens.
Through multi-channel video installations and cinematic narratives, they manage to capture a reality in which collective memory and personal experience are intertwined. Curated by Chus Martínez, the exhibition brings together three works: the recent Open World (2025), co-produced by TBA21 for the 36th Ljubljana Graphic Arts Biennial, You Shouldn’t Have to See This (2024) and Pedagogies of War: War at Distance (2026), a new commission to be displayed in the museum’s halls.
