The golden hour is momentary. In this exhibition, that succinctness becomes the central condition. Each work holds light at the edge of disappearance, and the show unfolds as an unfinished script, its scenes assembled but never resolved. Kateryna Lysovenko opens with the language of monumental painting turned against its own history. Trained in a tradition built for ideology, she thins it into translucence: oil handled like watercolour, bodies as glazes of rose and crimson through which the interior remains visible. In How strong hearts can be broken, a torso opens like a reliquary; tenderness becomes anatomical. Mermaids embrions suspends new life in the water of dusk, creatures that, in Ukrainian folklore, only the innocent can see. At the same time, Das Leben in den Taschen names her condition of production: a life carried in pockets, paradise as portable property. Hers is the last light in which an idyll can still be defended.

Die goldene Stunde ist flüchtig. In dieser Ausstellung wird diese Flüchtigkeit zur zentralen Bedingung. Jedes Werk hält Lichtam Rand des Verschwindens, und die Ausstellung entfaltet sich als unvollendetes Drehbuch, dessen Szenen montiert, aber nie aufgelöst werden. Kateryna Lysovenko eröffnet mit der Sprache der monumentalen Malerei, gewendet gegen ihre eigene Geschichte. Ausgebildet in einer Tradition, die für Ideologie erdacht wurde, verdünnt sie diese ins Transluzente: Öl, geführt wie Aquarell, Körper als Lasuren aus Rosa und Karmin, durch die das Innere sichtbar bleibt. In How strong hearts can be broken öffnet sich ein Torso wie ein Reliquiar; Zärtlichkeit wird anatomisch. Mermaids embrions hält neues Leben im Wasser der Dämmerung in der Schwebe; Wesen, die in der ukrainischen Folklore nur die Unschuldigen sehen können. Das Leben in den Taschen wiederum benennt ihre Produktionsbedingung: ein Leben in Taschen getragen, das Paradies als beweglicher Besitz. Ihre goldene Stunde ist das letzte Licht, in dem sich ein Idyll noch verteidigen lässt.
