Dangling sculpture—‘evacuated’ from Russian-Ukrainian frontline—will be focus of Ukraine's pavilion at Venice Biennale
Ukraine's pavilion at the 2024 Venice Biennale will feature artist Zhanna Kadyrova's concrete sculpture *Origami Deer*, which was evacuated from Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region as Russian forces advanced in 2024. The pavilion, titled *Security Guarantees*, references the 1994 Budapest Memorandum and will include archival materials and a video installation documenting the sculpture's journey across Europe. The work will be suspended from a crane on a truck along the Venice lagoon, symbolizing forced displacement and the fragility of international promises.
