WAR 1992

The War of Transnistria was a limited conflict that broke out in November 1990  between pro-Transnistria forces, including the Transnistrian Republican Guard, militia and Cossack units, and supported by elements of the Russian 14th army, and pro-Moldovan forces, including Moldovan troops and police. Fighting intensified on 1 March 1992 and, alternating with ad hoc ceasefires, lasted throughout the spring and early summer of 1992 until a ceasefire was declared on 21 July 1992. 
The conflict remained unresolved until now 2013....

When I was 11 during the civil war in Transnistria, I have recorded on the cassette tape sounds of War. After 19 years I came back to visit my family and found it. I have mixed  the sounds of War with the track produced by Franks Ocean an American artist from Brooklyn. The visuals were my inspiration on the spot without any particular art direction. I just did it deriving from my  emotions and kept on editing it. Here is my outcome...





At some point you can hear voices of my sister saying in Russian: ``Get down on the floor and do not get up...hey little get down I said`` I asked her: ``Is it a sniper?`` She answered: ``Do you hear those single shots?  I said: " Yeahh" she answered: " those are snipers"
p.s. This video was produced  for Central Saint Martins where I graduated with my MA Degree in the Applied Imagination in the Creative Industries.

Learning outcomes:

HAPPINESS

There was a time when I used to think, why did it happen to me..? 
However, now I am thankful for this experience, because it taught me how to be truly happy! Once you only know how to strive to survive,  you certainly know how to stay cheerful!

FEAR

It taught me how to overcome fear, when you have nothing to loose you are fearless. And I apply it in my current life in every possible way,  cause loosing some material items seems molecular:)

BRAVE

It taught me how to be brave and being able to stand up for my self, if someone is trying to attack me in any way I just look deep in their eyes so they can feel my soul and leave me alone.

TRYING

I had to be creative in order to survive in such a conditions and my creativity lead me out of this world. I keep on experimenting on a daily basis it works.

LOVE

To love people, cause seeing how quickly you can loose them hurts!
