Neutralization

The preparation of the project lasted for about three months, which is a significant period in the "new" conditions of life: a whole season in nature or another term of the ongoing martial law. During this time, the driving idea for ​​the project changed and became fluid as a result. Now the idea is rather based on a long watchful look, peering into the darkness and not just on some familiar notions and concepts.

The starting point was the desire to look fear in the eyes and document the consequences of the enemy's invasion of the northern regions of the country. However, the very expedition to the places where hostilities took place changed the mood and optics for interpreting what happened. The quick cleaning up of the consequences of the battles, the heroic stories of the defenders, the local population, which so quickly restores all life processes, and the image of children who can carelessly play even on burnt tanks, led to thoughts about the absurdity of reality or even its game component. After all, in the war itself there is also an element of games, exaggeration, tricks, etc. Inflatable rockets, tanks, dummy vehicles and any attempt to increase the appearance of your power. Noticing these elements, bringing them out, revealing secrets and tricks - also helps neutralize your fear of the threatening unknown.
