Semyon's project consists of two parts - one visual and one written. Using an old wooden school desk and a mini-computer, he reflects on the connection between generations. Archival photographs of his ancestors and more modern, colored photographs are loaded onto the computer. In the archive, Semyon also found a lot of information about his great-grandfathers who were shot in the village of Zhuravichi in the Mogilev region. After 75 years, Semyon shouts to his great-grandfathers in Zhuravichi: “I am alive! The Zaretskiy Family is alive!"
