A theme of self-proclaimed republics in Ukraine disappeared from world media when the conflict there relatively calm down. Literally these territories and a situation around them became out of focus. This case is not a unique. On the former USSR area similar change happened with Crimea, Abhazia, South Osetia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Transnistria and there are many similar situations in the rest of the world. Gradual Loss of Vision includes a number of out-of-focus images with geographical maps of such territories combined with a series of schemes and notes explaining such meanings as field of vision, peripheral vision changes, eye exercises etc.
