The Ukrainian pavilion at the Frankfurt Book Fair consisted of several visual and spatial layers that interacted with visitors at various distances differently. From a long distance, you could see only the glow behind the stand and the light from two large lights that pulsated only during an air alarm in Ukraine.

A little closer, we were already attracted by the stage, the exhibition stands for publishers, and the entrance area with the reception and several stands of book collections. At this distance, graphics by Aliona Solomadina were actively working, and everyone read the general theme of this year's stand program: "Persistence of being".
