Invited by Gaillard, Ukrainian multimedia artist Ihor Okuniev composed the sound piece Fields, 2024, which resonates from the courtyard grotto.
Part of an evolving work, Fields aims to evoke the atmosphere of the landscape surrounding the artist during the war;
field recordings of frozen forests, “cold” winter sounds of nature, complete the synthesized rhythms of the composition.
A trace of symbolic and personal memory that becomes a vibrant fragment in the vortex of history.

Camouflage, a pale red light in the night on the steppe. A light to become invisible; to distinguish humans from machines.
An attempt at a defensive gesture. Or an attack. The aim is to preserve the body heat. To secure the heartbeat.
To face the threat and be able to retaliate. To remain a space of hope — so as to maintain hope.
To have memories of events you hope will never happen again.
