Motankas
Puppet heads for Maïdan Inferno
Paper heads inspired by Motankas (traditional Ukrainian dolls) for the performance "Maidan inferno".
The characters are Ukrainian citizens who take part in the Maidan revolution.
I wanted to work from a traditional symbol to highlight the cultural aspect of this revolution which is based on the reappropriation of the habits and customs that define independent Ukraine.
The choice of paper with a brittle aesthetic underlines the fragility of the revolutionaries.
