8 жыл бұрынVolunteers led by Northern Stage were part of a UK-wide event that took place today, 1 July 2016, as a modern memorial to mark the centenary of the Battle of the Somme.
Commissioned by 14-18 NOW, the UK’s arts programme for the First World War centenary, the work was conceived and created by Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller in collaboration with Rufus Norris, Director of the National Theatre.

A beautiful way to remember true heroes, who will never be forgotten.

That is fantastic. A kind of magic realist memorial. The dead are present but absent and living and engaged but somehow disconnected. This is tremendously moving and pertinent. Our forebears are no longer merely scratched photos or equally scratchy and jerky monochrome film clips. Well done. I hope to see more of this approach to memorialising, and I wish I had thought of it ;-)

It is to someone too thick to see the symbolism behind it.

NO, no. It's poignant, moving, enlightening etc etc wishy-washy adjectives ad nauseam
