AR intervention during the exhibition "Every Day. Art. Solidarity. Resistance" at the Arsenal in Kyiv.

The idea for this work arose from stereotypes familiar to every Belarusian. Belarusians in the Soviet and post-Soviet space are called “Bulbash” - that is, potato lovers, and red and green are the colors of the state flag of the BSSR, which was restored during the Lukashenko regime. The title of the work plays with the translation of the country's name into other languages, such as "Weissrussland". Thus, the Whitetrashland sculpture is a symbol of the reactionary and stereotypical image of the country.

Placing this work in an exhibition space dedicated to political protests and the role artists play in them is a visualization of the environment in which artists are forced to live and work in Belarus, where attempts at political and artistic expression are criminalized and reactionary and progressive sentiments are forced to coexist.
