Directed by Oleksiy Radynski • Documentary • With Florian Yuriev • 2022 • 74 minutes
The extraordinary mind of Florian Yuriev, a visionary Ukrainian architect and artist, visualizes an astonishingly holistic view of the world. His abstract paintings brim with geometric colorful shapes and patterns that also carry a sonic component, as each shade has their own tonality. On his piano, whose keys are marked with their designated colors, Yuriev played out his painterly compositions, breaking down the barrier between sound and vision. Shot towards the end of Yuriev’s life, Oleksiy Radynski’s passionate documentary follows the architect’s tireless efforts to save one of his modernist masterpieces from destruction.
