Lia Dostlieva – The Book of Long Objects – MEGNYITÓ

The Book of Long Objects by Ukrainian artist Lia Dostlieva is a collection of images and fairytale-like short stories, where each narrative is tied to a specific ‘long object,’ traces three generations of one Ukrainian family through wars and episodes of forced displacement—from Soviet rule to Nazi occupation and then to independent Ukraine and the current Russo-Ukrainian war.
