The mysterious Trypillia culture is the oldest one to be found on the territory of Ukraine. Going back in history to 5000 – 2000 BC, its settlements are found from the Carpathian Mountains to the Dniester and Dnieper regions, covering substantial parts of the western part of the country, as well as the territories of today’s Moldova and Romania. A society of farmers and cattle-breeders, they left numerous objects of pottery and clay figurines, the enigma of their origin and their end.

Loyko’s video work offers an artistic research into the cryptic world of Trypilla culture combining graphic images that resemble the known culture’s artifacts with the scenery of one of the Trypilla sites.
