Na západní frontě klid / Zelené koridory
Na západní frontě klid / Zelené koridory
In view of a century of world wars and totalitarian regimes, an unresolved past and new trouble spots, questions are currently arising as to whether - and when - the opportunity was missed to make Europe sustainably peaceful: How has the view of war and war crimes changed after a hundred years? Is today's Europe, with its historical traumas, in a position to resist Russia's imperial expansionism, or is it politically powerless through its own fault? And how different are the experiences of men and women in war?
Dušan David Pařízek's diptych juxtaposes the experiences of frontline soldiers in the First World War with the current situation of Ukrainian women fleeing to Central and Western Europe. Historical and contemporary issues come together and become visible in their respective mechanisms of media representation and distortion.
