CHERISHED DISTANCE (3)

In April 2020, due to the global quarantine the Kyiv police carefully guarded city parks from visitors, apparently in order to walk along lonesome magnolia alleys on their own.

Cherished Distance is a series of video art works by Studio Radar, a graphic irony devoted to the surrealism of our new reality.
