Action 135: May 8, 1945. 9:03 am. City of Setif

Artist: Reza Aramesh
Technique: sculpture
Measurement: 14 × 28 × 93 cm
Date: 2014

The series Actions has been based on photographs of armed conflicts, found on the Internet. The sculpture shows a participant of the anti-French uprising that erupted on 8 May 1945 in Algeria. The historic and political context is nor reflected in the object itself, but is indicated in the title of the work, therefore attaching more significance to the effects of violence rather than its origin. At the same time, the artist commemorates victims of war.
