Abstract
Fragmented Lens of War is a visual and poetic exploration of the trauma of war. Looking both below the surface of the ocean and the surface of my own mind, this thesis searches out invisible wounds and the resilience needed to overcome them. The challenge is to look beyond appearances, and examine the fragmented spaces of war – the fighters and victims – the survivors and the suffering – the tormentors and refugees – the politics and environment – and observe the spaces where they all intersect and diverge. This thesis follows the exhibit Fragmented Lens of War, and investigates the spaces of conflict and the people in them through an exploration of the German U-boat U-352.
