AN HOUR OF WAR (Greece, 2007)
As a playful counterpart to their series on real disasters and other humanitarian subjects, the Czech pair Alena Dvorakova and Viktor Fischer photographed ‘acts of war’ in developed countries of Europe. In the realization that progress is inseparably linked with conflict and revolution, with An Hour of War they give the suggestion of apocalyptic images. In reality, these are photographs of the Greek religious festival ‘Clean Monday’, where participants bombard each other with flour.
