Scan of submunition fragments of military weapon in natural size that have been found on the territory of Donbass (Ukraine) during the conflict between Ukraine and separatists in 2014 till now. Fragments are like pieces of asteroids with grooves and bends, whose sharp edges can easily kill or maim anyone and his rapid journey from the barrel to explode and dispersion. There are the fragments of artillery shell of any type, mortar mine, bullets, well known “GRAD” (BM-21). Each piece has its own history that i retell (caption pdf file), the circumstances in which it was found by me; origin, the way i got it; place where it was found.
We'll probably never know which side of the conflict has created them, but in the future, after the dispersion, begins another story related to the places, situations, people who were nearby and saw the horror of what is called war. And now collecting these fragments piece by piece and making a new story which describes what happened during the war, the personal participation of the people, soldiers, volunteers, citizens - everyone became fragments that was knocked out of his place in life and abandoned on the battlefield.
