“It is so refreshing to watch a different style of performance which is not so theatrical, but more quiet and honest. The way Che spoke to us, as if we are in his living room, was what carried this piece and touched me directly”. Jelka Brecelj (Glej, Ljubljana)

Motion and Silence is a photographic set in progress by Mariya Ustymenko in collaboration with Che Kevlin. It moves through time and space, or rather through times and places, being unattached and dislocated, yet complete in itself at any given moment of pause. Each photograph presents a snippet in a mosaic, a story within a story. The narrative is broken and non-linear, there is no starting point and no ending, no questions posed, no answers given. Yet captured in their flight are perfect moments. Perfect in their imperfections. In their fragility. In the importance of all the bigger pictures left outside their frames. + [read more]
