Since 2006 Nataliya Ilchuk has been making short films, documentaries and videos in which she explores the theme of individual identity and collective historical memory against the background of different social and cultural discourses as leading to the necessity to revise previous experiences and to seek a new orientation in a society that has no relation to the lived past. In her work she is examining the challenges of reflecting the lived experience beyond contestable art conventions.
