Description
“Battleship Potemkin is one of the best-known films in history. However, in its essence, it was the propaganda of the Bolsheviks. The climax of the film, which confirms the previous thesis, is the raising of a red flag over the deck of the battleship. However, recording such a frame was difficult, due to the specifics of black and white cinema. That's why Sergei Eisenstein decided to shoot a white flag. For the premiere of, he painted each frame of the film with a flag in red. In my work, I repeat this gesture, colouring each frame with the flag, but with the only difference that instead of the Bolshevik flag, I use the colours of the flags of the most influential ideologies, the struggle of which is in the modern Ukrainian society.”
