THE COURSE OF HISTORY (PART III)

Filed under: Photographie | Tags: , , |

In this third and final installment of The Course of History, Bart Michiels explores the Eastern European battlefields of Russia and Germany. The term “Götterdämmerung” is adapted from Richard Wagner’s final opera of The Ring Cycle and is intended to refer here to the notion of a “violent end” or “destruction” as was the case for the Third Reich.
