Zagrava. Sergiy Maidukov

Zagrava — is an artbook by the artist Sergiy Maidukov, which documents the experiences from the beginning of February 2022, when there was talk of a major Russian invasion of Ukraine, until the mass shelling in May 2023.

In more than 50 illustrations, Sergiy Maidukov recreates the events of a year and a half of full-scale war, working with various media: pencil, ink, paper, tablet. The images of the author's weekly column for the German periodical Zeit Magazin became the basis of this artbook. It is also supplemented with black-and-white sketches and sketches that expand the story. This is how the drawings, which work with private reflection, turn into pages of a large-scale war: the first strikes on Kyiv, the defense of Bakhmut, the daily shelling of the country in the spring of 2023, and the changes taking place both in cities and people.
