OMEN OF WONDER
Oleksandr Hoisan
Ukraine / 2021, 18 min
Ruslan Martsinkiv is a national conservative politician, the mayor of Ivano-Frankivsk – one of the largest cities in the western part of Ukraine. He is supported by a record number of citizens, but in October 2020, when the city was at the center of the second wave of COVID-19, there was uncertainty about the implementation of a number of unclear solutions. Meanwhile, the election race began in which the incumbent mayor was taking part. These circumstances forced the city into becoming a field of political agitation – all of which was an obstacle for the mayor’s political ambitions. This composition of ordeals, of which the mayor was at the forefront, blended into an eccentric time period. Perhaps only a real wonder could transform this situation of kaleidoscope into an organic whole.
