On 08.06 - 09.06.2025 on Kyiv St Sophia Square is installed Black Cloud - Ukrainian Art Project with sounds of Zaporizhzhia prepared for Burning Man 2025 (USA) which could look citizens of Kyiv and guests of the city.

Black Cloud with Lightning (Black Cloud) is a monumental installation weighing seven tons and measuring 30x17x15 meters. It consists of 45 “clouds” sewn from four kilometers of black fabric.

The form refers to a child’s image of a storm cloud - simple, yet disturbing. As the author of the project, Liosha Say, and producer Vitaliy Deynega, note, the installation periodically “comes to life” - with lightning and thunder, warning of threats that may appear suddenly.

For the sound design, Ukrainian producer Involver (VovKIMG) used recordings from the acoustic diary of a Zaporizhzhia musician from the band "Barabanza" - during moments of the “thunderstorm,” explosions and shelling of Zaporizhzhia are heard.

“This is an emotional metaphor for the state of the world: looming, loud, disturbing, but at the same time soft and attractive. She embodies those dangers that are often ignored - until they become overhead," says Liosha Say.

Welcome to visit Black Cloud in Kyiv before it will be moved to United States for the Festival Burning Man 2025!
