Vitaly Yankovy’s mixed-media installation home is where the haunt is / the haunt is in landscape is an eerie reflection on the hybridity of landscapes and public space. Metal structures of mass-produced furniture quietly intrude the forest scenery and unsettle the image of a pristine wilderness.
Vitaly Yankovy is a multidisciplinary artist from Vinnytsia, Ukraine, currently based in Bucharest, Romania. He works with video essays, animation, 3D, drawing, readymades, sculpture and sound. Yankovy’s practice builds around hybrid landscapes, which consist of both physical and digital objects through the optics of nonhuman and posthuman studies. In recent works, he also researches performative ways of more-than-human communication.
