WAR ON TELEGRAM

WOT is a series of photographs using Open Source Intelligence. They are all taken from images directly filmed by soldiers engaged in the field of the Ukrainian conflict and broadcast on telegram channels. Hours of viewing, a fine selection of visuals and a very precise image processing methodology allow this unique rendering. Like most young people born around the 2000s, the soldiers who filmed those images grew up with smartphones, social networks, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, the possibility for all citizens to witness their time with a simple push of the thumb. They were documenting their lives, they are documenting their war. Mens and womens involved in this war are the hostages and the first victims of a cynical geopolitical game. This series is a tribute to their individual commitments, to their courage, to their fears and to their hopes. Until peace returns, here are their lives.
