Don't dare to miss this amazing Video Clip . .
first read it
properly.
This video shows the winner of "Ukraine's Got
Talent", Kseniya
Simonova, 24, drawing a series of
pictures on an illuminated sand table
showing how ordinary people were affected by the
German invasion during
World War II. Her talent, which
admittedly is a strange one, is
mesmeric to watch.
The
images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in
the
audience to tears and she won the top prize of
about £75,000.
She
begins by creating a scene showing a couple sitting
holding
hands on a bench under a starry sky, but then
warplanes appear and the
happy scene is obliterated.
It
is replaced by a woman's face crying, but then a baby
arrives
and
the woman smiles again. Once again war returns and Miss
Simonova
throws the sand into chaos from which a young
woman's face appears.
She
quickly becomes an old widow, her face wrinkled and
sad,
before the image turns into a monument to an
Unknown Soldier.
This outdoor scene becomes framed by a window as
if the viewer
is
looking out on the monument from within a
house.
In
the final scene, a mother and child appear inside and a
man
>
standing outside, with his hands pressed against the glass,
saying
goodbye.
The
Great Patriotic War, as it is called in Ukraine, resulted
in
one
in four of the population being killed with eight to 11
million
deaths out of a population of 42
million.
Kseniya Simonova says:
"I
find it difficult enough to create art using paper
and
pencils or paintbrushes, but using sand and
fingers is beyond me. The
art, especially when the war is used as the
subject matter, even brings
some audience members to tears. And there's
surely no bigger
compliment."
Please take time out to see this amazing piece of
