The Gaze | An Italian Photographer Documenting Russian Crimes in Ukraine @TheGazeDigitalPlatform | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
This is the story of Italian photographer Alessandro Parente, who documents Russian crimes in Ukraine using an ancient wet collodion photography technique. In this video, Alessandro shares his unique approach to capturing the aftermath of war. By employing the wet collodion process from the 1850s, he carefully crafts photographs on glass collected from the sites of bombings. This slow, deliberate method allows him to connect with the suffering of civilians in a way that modern photography often overlooks. His images are more than just pictures — they are profound stories of pain, survival, and human resilience.
The War-Born Art project is a series of videos that explore how the remnants of war—missile fragments, shell casings, and anti-tank weapon tubes—are transformed into unique works of art. These objects, crafted by Ukrainian artists and designers, symbolize the resilience and creativity of the Ukrainian people. In each video, you'll witness the process of creating these art pieces, hear the artists share their stories and motivations, and discover how instruments of destruction are turned into symbols of peace and renewal. This project stands as a testament to the power of creativity to inspire and unite, even in the darkest times.
