There’s something miraculous about this tender moment, as two boys on a rooftop watch a solar eclipse through an old floppy disk.

Numerous other details and scenes can be discovered in this large scale commission, that Alexey Shlyk made after winning the Audience Prize of the ING Talent Award 2019. Shlyk grew up in the Soviet Union. In his work he often focuses on memories of his own youth, nature and climate change.
