Maksym Khodak (Maksym Khodak)
„Wide Russian“
Sculpture, 2026

Three multicolored granite slabs feature engraved images of three Russian figures in war zones. The sculptures forge a connection between Eduard Limonov, Zakhar Prilepin, and the rapper Husky, spanning a geography from besieged 1990s Sarajevo to the Donetsk region in the 2010s and 2020s. The formal stretching of the images references the “wide putin” meme that went viral years ago. The work documents specific Russian war crimes and examines how culture shares responsibility for them. Smaller granite pieces are layered over the main slabs, detailing historical fragments through the language of memes. This layering symbolizes the “layers” integral to digital image editing. By transferring theseimages onto granite—a material typical of Soviet memorials—these elements become part of a history etched into.

Installation, 2026

27. März – Opening 8 und 9 / Tag 2
Ich fahre gerade zu FG. Es ist nur einen Katzensprung von mirentfernt, trotzdem hatte ich keine Lust. Aus dem Haus zu gehen, ist echt das Schwierigste. Warum bist du hier? “I follow this guy on insta and he posted sth about the openings.” „Ich wurde explizit eingeladen und dachte, es ist nett.“ „ganz unangenehme crowd hier“ It’s only the second evening I’m going on openings, but I already got the drill. Standing around, chit-chatting, wine and strangers. I listen to them. „Ich fühle mich nach solchen Veranstaltungen immer wie eine Fliege, die zu lange ins Licht geflogen ist.“
