Hang in there while we get back on track
Military parades in Belarus are designed to project strength and combat readiness. Yet decades after World War II, their original function has diminished, giving way to a new symbolic form. This transformation is captured in the photographic series War Parade, which documents the ceremonial staging and artificial decorations that accompany these hierarchical processions.
