August 26, 7 pm – VERE MUSIC HUB (Kyiv, Malopidvalna St., 21/8). Registration of listeners: https://forms.gle/fkf6r1PktFjhX6ji6.
Urban Inevitability is an audio-visual project at the intersection of urbanism and existential pain. It is an event in which music and video create a common space for feeling a loss that has already happened or is still approaching. Invisible, but imminent.
The project is centered on the experience of the impossibility of stopping time, holding on to those you love, and protecting the world around you from cracks, destruction, and disintegration. It is a state of subtle anxiety that coexists with everyday life: among chimneys, railroad tracks, power towers, elevators, highways, abandoned industrial zones, old panels and concrete spaces.
Music and video exist in symbiosis: sound grows through the shots of the urban landscape, and visual images reveal the depths of a person’s inner space. This concert is a space of shared feeling, where each viewer can live their own personal inevitability.
