Eruption — Olia Koval, Editions Bessard, Signed Limited Edition of 50, 2025
An invasion staged with obsessive precision. Over eight months, 40,000 hand-sculpted and painted red-winged beetles occupied a Kyiv living room, the human body, and food, forming a pseudo-documentary allegory of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Domestic refuge turns hostile; the body becomes territory. This volume distills installation, witness testimony and forensic detail into a tightly controlled sequence. Limited to 50 signed copies, each book bears five beetles attached by hand to the cover—every copy physically unique.
