The corridor constitutes a memorial complex dedicated to the memory of the Ilovaisk tragedy.
The composition is based on two broken lines-surfaces forming a corridor. The spectator can go along the corridor, listen to the audio installation, and visit the museum of memory.
‍
The whole complex consists of three facilities: audio installation, chapel, and museum. The geometry of forms is sharp. The walls with a negative slope create the sense of danger, trap.
‍
Of importance in the project is the audio installation, a music composition following the scenario of the beginning, development, middle part, accents, and a code. To create the composition, composer Nadia Odessiuk uses documentary fragments of the event chronicle. The composition ends up in male a capella choir singing.

The audio installation shapes up the corridor using directed sound. The walls of the corridor function as restrictions for sound spreading.
