Ghosts of War Empty Ghosts of War

Message par nat14 Dim 21 Oct - 11:02

Bonjour.
Voici le travail d'un photographe qui a décidé de superposer des images de la prise de Cherbourg en 1944 avec des photos prises aux même endroit aujourd'hui. Voici le lien vers l'article original : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2219584/Ghosts-war-Artist-superimposes-World-War-II-photographs-modern-pictures-street-scenes.html

This haunting collection of images shows what it would look like if the ghosts of World War II returned to our streets.
The remarkable pictures overlay modern scenes from France with atmospheric photographs taken in the same place during the war.
Historical expert Jo Teeuwisse, from Amsterdam, began the project after finding 300 old negatives at a flea market in her home city depicting familiar places in a very different context.

Startling contrast: Dutch historian Jo Teeuwisse
finds pictures from archives and then researches their background,
before taking a picture in the same place now and elegantly interweaving
them

She researched the background to each
of the most interesting finds and created a beautiful series of
pictures by super-imposing the old pictures on top of new ones.

Now she has rediscovered
photographs of soldiers at war in France and across Europe and put
together further sets of evocative and emotional designs.
Miss Teeuwisse believes that making war scenes familiar by linking them to somewhere we recognise heightens their impact.

'I knew what happened there, but knowing the exact spot of some detail will etch it into your visual memory,' she said.

Her work goes much further than the visual, too.

The website of her organisation, Historical Consultancy, reads: 'For years we have been researching
daily life before and during the Second World war, not just gathering
information but also interviewing eye witnesses and recreating certain
aspects of history to gain a unique insight into that era.'
The
organisation works with authors, film and TV companies, museums,
schools, documentary makers, designers, theatre productions and many
more.

It has helped
individuals trying to find out more about their family history, carrying
out close research into any events from between 1900 and 1950.

Miss
Teeuwisse says she began the project as a research tool, but now
continues it mostly because of her 'passion for history and fascination
with the subject.'
A selection of her photos created across Europe, from Rotterdam to Utrecht to Sicily are available to view on her Flickr site and on Facebook.
The emotional photos juxtapose wartorn paths piled high with rubble with newly painted signposts and tarmacked roads.
Pretty houses and fashionable shops have been built where the dead once lay and German soldiers clashed with Allied troops.
In these poignant shots, however, we have a tiny window into that world.
