A Dutch fisherman captured the two film reels from the bottom of the sea during the fishing in Friesland, The Netherlands. Later those film reels were donated to Eye Filmmusuem collection center in Amsterdam. The film reels were deteriorated, decayed and dying, but still contained some traces of images. These two 35 mm reels belonged to Soviet film “Sons of the Fatherland” (1968) directed by Latif Faiziyev. That politically charged film depicting the different versions of truths through the lens of religion, politics, and war with the backdrop of Holocaust memories in Soviet Union.

“Two Shadows One Sun” became a parallax towards different presentations and representations of events and evidence through a critical and imaginative re-inscription by reclaiming forgotten histories and re-imagining the present.
