The installation consists of black turnstiles that can only be accessed in one direction. The artist originally developed the work during the revolutionary Euromaidan in 2013 and is currently using it to comment on the new harsh measures for the conscription of Ukrainian men and the restriction of their right to travel. He questions the effect of borders and offers space for reflection on personal and political freedoms.
