‘It has become a symbol of hope’: the epic journey of Ukraine’s origami deer to the Venice biennale

As cities emptied on the eve of Russia’s full-scale invasion, artist Zhanna Kadyrova’s defiant concrete sculpture began its odyssey to this year’s festival

On a perfect spring day in Paris, the deer is first visible in the distance, poised between an avenue of just-budding plane trees in the 7th arrondissement. Its head is raised, its body poised. Seen there among the trees, it really could be a wild animal. In reality, it is a concrete deer, and not even a particularly naturalistic one, since it has the distinct look of origami about it. The sculpture is a play of scale and weight, as if feather-light folded paper has been enlarged and transformed into heavy concrete.

The deer is strapped to a flat-bed truck, and it is being driven into the grand modernist headquarters of Unesco, the UN agency that looks after heritage, culture and education. It will stand there for a day in its gardens, with Alexander Calder’s Spirale for company and the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop. It is the last stop on a long overland journey across eastern, central and western Europe before it crosses the Venetian lagoon and docks in Venice for the 2026 art biennale, where, from this month, it will be the most prominent component of Ukraine’s national pavilion.

I tried to live for 24 hours without using oil-based products. It was ridiculously impossible

The world’s economy is completely dependent on petrochemicals. Is there any way to avoid them?

The US-Israel war on Iran has brought into sharp focus our reliance on petroleum and natural gas. Petrochemicals are the cheap, ubiquitous feedstocks for so much we consume: the raw materials for our digital devices, cosmetics and detergents, plastic packaging, our medical supplies and fertilisers. There are greener alternatives, of course, but for now the world’s economy is hopelessly dependent.

Many of us have been avoiding filling up at the bowser to alleviate the oil and gas crunch, but the pressures are no longer just about transport costs. This left me wondering, in this global economy, could I last 24 hours avoiding petrochemicals altogether?
