The Fabricated Past in a Conflic Country

The Fabricated Past in a Conflict Country (2016) is both the title of a book and the exhibition it accompanies, both present a series of photographs taken in Ukraine by Mathilde Vaveau between April and September of 2015. While some of the images show architectures or singular interiors, all evoke the historical past of Ukraine that constantly surges into the present. The set of images and texts aims to highlight the new limits created in Ukraine between two manufactured pasts: a manipulation and a construction from the one side, from the other, a chaotic defeated past that one tends to depart from.
