A conversation with Petro Bevza about land art as a spiritual practice, the ethics of engaging with the environment, and the artist’s role in times of catastrophe. We talk about the first land art symposiums of the 1990s, the importance of attuning to space, his experience working in Mohrytsia, and the differences between Ukrainian and Western environmental art. We also touch on digital documentation and archiving of artistic actions, and how Ukrainian art today is searching for a language to articulate the trauma of war.
