The book of Veles (engelsk)


Beskrivelse


Representing historical and current efforts at producing disinformation and chaos, Bendiksen interweaves photographs of contemporary Veles with fragments from an archaeological discovery also called ‘The Book of Veles’, a cryptic collection of 40 ‘ancient’ wooden boards discovered in Russia in 1919, written in a proto-Slavic language. It was claimed to be a history of the Slavic people and the god Veles himself, the pre-Christian Slavic god of mischief, chaos and deception.
