Anatoly Gankevyich is a Ukrainian artist and filmmaker known for his experimental approach to art, blending painting, multimedia installations, and film. Born in Odessa, he gained recognition for his innovative works that explore themes of identity, memory, and the interaction between humanity and nature. Gankevyich's artwork often reflects the tension between personal experience and collective history, delving into both Ukrainian and universal cultural narratives.
His films are characterized by a distinct visual style, often blending surrealist imagery with symbolic storytelling, drawing viewers into contemplative and emotionally charged experiences. Gankevyich's work has been exhibited in numerous international galleries and festivals, where his unique ability to merge traditional and modern media has marked him as a distinctive voice in contemporary art.
The diasec from the Aquatoria series emerged from the artists’ film trilogy "The Gase of the Sun," dedicated to nostalgic memories of the past and the element of water.
The past appears like a dream, a feeling of traveling through phantasmagoric images taken out of context, transcendental fragments. Water is timeless. A creative process that puts perception into a trance. Each viewer spontaneously has their own story based on personal experience and preferences.
The film's characters are the captain of the Soviet passenger fleet, who shoots at a Discobolus passing by. Girls who escape and, for some personal reason, end up in the port.
