EVERYTHING MUST GO
Everything Must Go is a project that takes the form of a video and sound fieldwork across several flea markets and one mega market in Ukraine. The title borrows its meaning from a term used by US stores that are going out of business and need all inventory to be cleared out.
Serving as a metaphor for the structural and societal clearing out in Post-Soviet Ukraine, Everything Must Go explores historic memory, nationhood, and social relations affected by newly unleashed free market forces.
