Stanislava Pinchuk, based in Sarajevo, is an artist working between data-mapping and information-mining, conflict topographies, the legacies of literature, and politics of translation. Her practice spans film, architecture, installation, performance, drawing, tattooing and sculpture.

The Theatre of War recites the opening lines of Homer’s Iliad. As the epic war poem begins in media res on the 9th year of the Trojan war, so too, does the film take place in the 9th year of russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
In The Theatre of War the opening stanza is likewise recited over three different days, across three different theatres of war: a stage which held important cultural resistance during the Siege of Sarajevo, a combat training facility for Ukrainian soldiers once used for military exercises in the Bosnian war, and the supposed Tomb of Homer on the Greek island of Ios, which casts its view over the sea where the original clashes of the Iliad took place.

The event will be held in English.
