The mind can condition the perception of war until making it something distant, ephemeral and non-existent. Memory and imagination, in fact, are able to erase not only certain details, but also to make us forget the human presence (and component) of war, offering an illusory image, erasing the drama of death and leaving only a memory of a desertic natural scenography. This reaction, nearly to distance oneself from the harsh reality, is revealed in the series of optical installations by Natalia Tikhonova with a game of filters that, among the blacks and greys of ancient photos, make appear and disappear the red, bloody, evanescent figures of soldiers dashed by the artist, inviting the viewer to get in touch with the war through the observation of its symbols from different perspectives.
