Loss of Vision
Today’s wars are wars of images. Visuals of military tactics, war crimes, and destruction fill our daily lives, but they are more than just reports. They compete in an information battlefield. Violent imagery has always driven the media, but with 24/7 news and social media, global audiences are constantly exposed to conflict images. News is commercialized, editing footage like action films, cutting out normal life to keep viewers hooked. In recent works, Mykola Ridnyi explores how to discuss violence without perpetuating it, using metaphors of blindness to highlight society's dehumanization amidst sensational news.
