Ukraine's Got Talent

Post by Sisyphus »

This is a clip of a young female artist. Using just sand on a board she depicts the unfolding of WWII in the Ukraine. It starts off with a happy scene, followed by the destruction of the war, a young happy woman with a baby turning into an old women who becomes a monument to the war.

It finishes with a sailor looking into a house saying goodbye to his wife and baby. Unfortunately, we can't understand the background commentary which obviously adds a powerful story to the art.

It's clear from the audience reaction that the Great Patriotic War means far more to them than Remembrance Sunday does to us. :(

She won the competition and a prize of £130,000. The skill she shows is quite amazing - and how many millions did Damian Hurst get for cutting a cow in half and putting it in a tank of formaldehyde? :x
