WAR REENACTMENTS

1993/1994

In the early 1990s, while photographing pioneer villages, I discovered the world of historical reenactments. Through the lens, I learned about four major wars and met passionate people committed to portraying them with historical accuracy. These photos reflect both the intensity of the battles and the dedication behind the performances.
