30% of nature

«30%» is a research and video project focuses on the impact of the russian war on Ukrainian environment and finding possible opportunities to use contamination and mining as s chance to conserve and preserve the nature to reach one of the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030 goals –  to book 30% of nature reserves. In 2023 we completed two expeditions to the Kyiv and Kharkiv regions to record the state of the environment in the de-occupied territories. Through research and art practices we are focusing on the impact of the russian war in Ukraine on three types of literal landscapes/biomes – forest, steppe, and water.

Presented as a part of Ukrainian pavilion at the 18th Venice Architecture Biennale.
