<\/a><\/strong>Para Yana Kononova, a guerra n\u00e3o termina quando o som das explos\u00f5es desaparece. Ela persiste, saturando a terra e instalando-se no sil\u00eancio de paisagens devastadas. O projeto Radiations of War<\/strong> tra\u00e7a esta presen\u00e7a persistente na Ucr\u00e2nia \u2013 n\u00e3o como um registo documental, mas como um encontro com um terreno onde o desastre continua ap\u00f3s o seu impacto. A terra torna-se simultaneamente testemunha e arquivo. Quando a linha da frente recua, as ru\u00ednas deixadas refletem uma paisagem em transforma\u00e7\u00e3o, carregada de tudo o que por ela passou. As imagens de Kononova s\u00e3o prova deste processo. Mostram como a viol\u00eancia se instala na terra e como o peso da aus\u00eancia da viol\u00eancia anterior continua a agir.

Para a artista, o termo \u2018radia\u00e7\u00e3o\u2019 evoca a natureza complexa e polu\u00edda da experi\u00eancia da guerra. Evoca mais do que aquilo que \u00e9 vis\u00edvel. H\u00e1 um zumbido ou tremor que altera a nossa perce\u00e7\u00e3o do espa\u00e7o. Esta sensa\u00e7\u00e3o atravessa a mem\u00f3ria e o corpo. Vai al\u00e9m do corpo, atravessando gera\u00e7\u00f5es. A guerra aqui n\u00e3o \u00e9 um evento ou um desastre isolado. \u00c9 um processo intermin\u00e1vel, irradiando-se para fora e propagando-se pela terra.

Yana Kononova come\u00e7ou a trabalhar na s\u00e9rie Radiations of War<\/strong> em mar\u00e7o de 2022. Desde ent\u00e3o, tem vivido e trabalhado em \u00e1reas previamente ocupadas por tropas russas, \u00e1reas afetadas por combates ativos ou locais que sofreram o terror de ataques com m\u00edsseis. Utilizando uma c\u00e2mara de m\u00e9dio formato, Kononova documenta crimes de guerra. Documenta a infraestrutura civil destru\u00edda, os esfor\u00e7os dos servi\u00e7os de emerg\u00eancia ucranianos e os corpos de soldados e civis ca\u00eddos.

Tanto a exposi\u00e7\u00e3o como o livro combinam as imagens de Kononova com poesia de Joyelle McSweeney. O livro \u00e9 publicado pela FOTODOK<\/strong> e XYZ Books<\/strong> e faz parte da iniciativa Creative Europe Intergalactica: Books for Culture Without Borders<\/strong>.

For Yana Kononova, war does not end when the sound of explosions fades. It lingers, saturating the land and settling into the silence of devastated landscapes. The project Radiations of War<\/em> traces this persistent presence in Ukraine \u2013 not as a documentary record, but as an encounter with a terrain where disaster continues after its impact. The land becomes both witness and archive. When the front line retreats, the ruins left behind reflect a changing landscape, laden with everything that has passed through it. Kononova\u2019s images are evidence of this process. They show how violence nestles in the earth and how the weight of the absence of previous violence continues to work.

For the artist, the term ‘radiation’ evokes the complex, polluted nature of the experience of war. It evokes more than what meets the eye. There is a hum or tremor that alters our sense of space. This feeling moves through memory and the body. It goes beyond the body, through generations. War here is not an event or a one-time disaster. It is an endless process, radiating outwards and rippling across the land.

Yana Kononova began working on the Radiations of War<\/em> series in March 2022. Since then, she has been living and working in areas previously occupied by Russian troops, areas affected by active fighting, or locations that have suffered the terror of rocket attacks. Using a medium-format camera, Kononova documents war crimes. She documents the destroyed civilian infrastructure, the efforts of Ukrainian emergency services, and the bodies of fallen soldiers and civilians.

Both the exhibition and the book combine Kononova\u2019s images with poetry by Joyelle McSweeney. <\/strong>The book is published by FOTODOK and XYZ Books and part of the Creative Europe initiative Intergalactica : Books for Culture Without Borders<\/em> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
