Bloody World

Shadow Art Sculpure I made for the exhibition “THE GREAT WAR” of the National Historical Museum

 

A Bloody World 

 

Roll-call with a shadow… 

A void replaces the soldier… 

Tremendous loss… 

Only the blood stains, 

eternally blight the stones… 

Darkness around… 

Even in the sunshiine… 

Darkness was all the soldier saw… 

Roll-call with a shadow… 

 

Is everybody else here? 

Roll-call… 

Briefing… 

Tactical game… 

They gathered in the evenings and planned… 

From this side… 

And the other side… 

All seventeen… 

We ‘ll put this one here and this one there… 

And when the sun rises… 

… we shall see … 

… and they waited … 

Counting voids and shadows… 

Still counting voids and shadows… 

For years now… 

Centuries… 

Roll-call with a shadow…
