Daniil Revkovskiy and Andrii Rachinskiy

In their art, Daniil Revkovskiy and Andrii Rachinskiy engage with social problems and introduce the strategies associated with investigative journalism. Their works reimagine found and collected footage provided by the urban environment and social networks.

The tragedy that happened in 1996 in the city of Dniprodzerzhynsk (now Kamianske) was their starting point. A KTM-5 tram running along the № 2а route suffered a braking system failure at the steep slope, resulting in the deaths of 34 persons, and in injuries to more than 100. The story inspired the artists to conduct an investigation that uncovered deeper social problems. A local tragedy highlighted the human habit and gift of conformism.
