„Es gibt keine Tyranneien, die nicht versuchen, die Kunst einzuschränken, weil sie die Macht der Kunst sehen. Kunst kann der Welt Dinge sagen, die sonst nicht geteilt werden können. Kunst vermittelt Gefühle.“
- Volodymyr Selenskyj, Präsident der Ukraine

The Art of Hanging Pictures, 2002
The Art of Hanging Pictures (2002) is an interactive work that consists of a series of framed photographs in a variety of sizes, large and small, which are hung at various heights and angles across a wall. The images depict such things as empty streets and sports fields, emergency vehicles, a brick wall and a kitsch swan ornament, which are all perhaps images related to the life and environment of the woman and child portrayed in the largest photograph. The work deliberately possesses a fragmentary character, and visitors are free to rearrange the photographs to make their own compositions and narratives.
