'What remains' - Arnaud De decker & Si Bollé

Arnaud De Decker:"For four years, I have been photographing the Donbas while reporting from the war in Ukraine. The Donbas as it once was is disappearing. Villages are abandoned, buildings reduced to rubble, and landscapes transformed into front lines. Many of the places in these photographs have since been destroyed or are now under Russian occupation. Others have changed beyond recognition. The war itself has changed too. What began as a war of artillery and manoeuvre has evolved into one in which drones observe almost every movement. The battlefield has become more transparent, faster and harder to escape. This exhibition is also about memory. Each photograph preserves a place, a moment, or a reality that may no longer exist. WHAT REMAINS is about what war destroys, and what photography can preserve. A memory the war cannot erase. Curation by @Sidney @Sylvia @Ruben Graphic design by @Sidney Many thanks to gallery @issi @Sylvia." For three decades Si Bollé is working as a self-taught artist. Fragility and beauty of life is expressed especially in painting although it is not her sole medium.
