Validity Period is an artistic photo project focusing on the issues of overproduction and ecology. The co-author is Pavlo Kyryk, a Ukrainian writer and graphic designer.
Pavlo is a laureate of the Kraków Creative Scholarship 2024, a laureate of the Literary Competition by Smoloskyp Publishing House 2016, and the author of the short stories book “Job”.
The project was created in 2021 in Kraków. Over three months, we visited local waste collection points.

The found objects were used as decorations designed to recreate the atmosphere of domestic life.
The work on the project often turned into a performance.
Random passersby stopped, approached to talk, took photos, and laughed. Sometimes, they even threatened to call the police.
However, most often, they pretended not to notice anything.
