The title of MYKOLA RIDNYI’s work is borrowed from ophthalmology. A blind spot is a small area on the retina where vision is created. To complement it, we rely on our own knowledge and memory without taking into account that we are continuously constructing reality. During a disease, the blind spot can be perceived – from the small spot to the total darkness that “fills in” the eye. Ridnyi uses this concept as a metaphor for society in a state of media war. He takes images from the media reports about the war in Eastern Ukraine and completely destroys them with ink. This work is a critical statement on the mechanical acceptance of the reality designed by media and the social blindness imposed on us by war propaganda, which creates a polar vision of reality, dividing society into “us” and “them”, “ours” and “theirs.”
