Overview
DION proudly presents “KYIV,” an immersive art installation that weaves a vivid tapestry of this enchanting city’s essence by embodying its four iconic landmarks and heraldic emblem. At the heart of our creation lies a symbolic tribute to four iconic landmarks that define the city’s skyline and history: the majestic Bohdan Khmelnytsky Monument, the serene Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, the proud Monument to the Founders of Kyiv, and the historic Golden Gate of Kyiv. Grounding this homage to Kyiv’s soul, the base of the installation blooms with the intricate beauty of Petrykivka painting, infusing traditional Ukrainian artistry into the very foundation. “KYIV” by DION is not just an art installation; it’s a journey through the city’s storied past and vibrant culture, inviting viewers into a world where history and creativity converge.
Goals
We wanted to create an installation that carries with it the opportunity to brand the city through its landmarks.
Additional Information
The timeframe for creating the installation was 3 months.
