Oksana Meister (*1988) is a Ukrainian photographer based in Berlin. Studied Photography at Lette Verein Berlin (2017-2022). Using an essayistic approach she explores such themes as displacement, the identity of places, and connection of a person to a place. Her works are silent, melancholic, and poetic, with a little bit of irony and humor. Her works were a part of group exhibitions in Berlin and Ukraine.
Description: In the Ukrainian language, the word "home" belongs to the adverbs of place, but I think it should be classified as a state. "At home" is not so much about a place as about a feeling.
While working on this series, I was thinking about the loss of connection with home, about the organism of "home", its structural elements, the formation of "home" through nature, the colors, smells, the speed of movement in this space, communication, the inclusion of a person as an unconditional element of this space. However, if a person leaves home for some reason, it does not mean that this place disintegrates, it is simply re-formed for further existence without a person as its element.
The connection is lost, erased, and faded. In the end, all that remains are attempts to capture some little things, its remnants that trigger memories and emotions associated with the past experiences in that place.
