This is one of the tanks whose heads roll all over the East. This particular diorama was inspired by a series of pictures of a one who apparently rolled over in water, taking its crew with it in the deep. When they dragged it out the steep river, 2 guys obviously didn’t escape and were more or less resting in that position. I don’t really know why but the current events affect my creativity quite a lot, sort of waking up the beast inside me that I thought died about 12 years ago.
My preferred filmmaker is Andrei Tarkovski, incidentally from Russia. he said
« When we talk about war, we talk about the victims, because there are no winners in a war.
And even if we win a war, we actually lose it.
because we took part in it. »
I called it number 9 because that’s the follow up to a 2010 diorama I did with more or less the same scene and subject which I called Number 8.
