About The Artwork
The project "Double heroes" explores «neutral» attitude to World War II topic. Explore the history as the fact as fact it is; or as the event that occurred and has signs, elements and internal logic. I found out the way to illustrate the idea randomly, when i watched a documentary film dedicated to military-historical clubs in Belarus . I was interested and surprised by the fact that clubs members have two Second World War uniforms: Soviet and Nazi . They are interested in each element of the uniform: the color of the material , buttons, style, backpack ... But they have no attitude to the soldier as " occupier " or " liberator ." Do not attempt to support «traditional» for post-Soviet country's division into "bads» and "goods». Researchers’ neutrality i got from the situation. I got language and visual form to reflect the vision . Also, I was interested in the fact, as club members participant in war reconstractions or " take part in the war " on the side of German and Soviet armies , depending on the composition of the event participants. How easy it is to be killed by the Germans today , and in a month to keep the defense of the fortress as a Soviet border guard . How can you live two opposite life, wearing different uniforms.
