Pavel Brăila
Pavel Brăila (born 1971 in Chişinău, Moldova) works in various media including video, photography, performance, and installation. Since the mid-1990s, his works have been shown in numerous international group and solo exhibitions. In his films and performances he invites the viewer to participate in his world of cultural observations, for which he often investigates social absurdities overlooked by global geopolitical discourse. He has twice been invited to documenta (2002, 2017) and participated in Manifesta 10 (2014). In 2006-2007, Brăila was a fellow in the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program.
Poster project for Kyiv Perennial
2024,
Offset prints
The poster project draws attention to Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine and contextualizes it as a war within and against Europe. The invited artists create one poster each with the leading question: What will happen to Europe if the war against Ukraine continues for ten more years? Half of the print-run of posters will be flyposted in Berlin and the other half will be available for free at the different locations of Kyiv Perennial.
