Battles background

Battles

The legacy of war, dictatorship, and occupation lingers in Europe, profoundly impacting the continent's collective identity and self-perception.

Is a war ever truly finished? Battles delves into the lingering remnants of conflict, exploring the lasting impact on landscapes and memories. Archetypes of warfare - a bomb, bunker, tank, and soldier - guide us through European sites of recent turmoil. We witness the transformation of people, objects, and terrain after demilitarization, revealing the stories of an elderly man in a bunker-dotted country, a prison camp's eerie night scenes, the final days of outdated explosives, and an army of women dismantling explosive artillery.
