This is amazing! What a deeply moving & impressive performance.
"Here, she recounts Germany conquering Ukraine in the second world war.
She brings calm, then conflict.
A couple on a bench become a woman's face;
a peaceful walkway becomes a conflagration;
a weeping widow morphs into an obelisk for an unknown soldier.
Simonova looks like some vengeful Old Testament deity as she destroys then recreates her scenes
-with deft strokes, sprinkles and sweeps she keeps the narrative going.
She moves the judges to tears as she subtitles the final scene
"you are always near"."
