Text

“Search for Your People” (“Ищи Своих”) is a name of a Telegram channel containing photos of killed and captured Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine. The image of a torn apart soldier was found in that Telegram group and was then transformed into a massive puzzle with the dimensions of 15 m x 18 m. During a 5 hour performance, the puzzle was put together by the artists and passers-by, and then swept back together and burnt outside.
