Session The Post-Soviet: meeting with artist Lada Nakonechna

Lada Nakonechna is a contemporary Ukrainian artist whose work spans drawing, installation, performance, and video.
Her work critically examines systems of power, visibility, and representation, often focusing on how political and social structures shape everyday life. Primarily, she focuses on cultural infrastructures that enable violence. She engages with documents and found footage, challenging modes of visibility by intervening in culturally stabilized images. In her works with historical Socialist Realist paintings, Nakonechna questions the future to which the landscape, in its often politicized forms, has long laid claim. A significant strand of her practice addresses displaced bodies and the loss of orientation, which is particularly relevant in the context of Russia’s war against Ukraine. Her work frequently reflects absence, erasure, loneliness, and the fragility of personal and collective memory.
She is a member of the R.E.P. group and a co-founder of the Method Fund.
