Olympic Security Style Athens 2004

The first work from the Olympic Security Style series made in 2004. One Olympiad - one image since 2004.

The project is an attempt to adapt weapons to the peaceful social environment by transforming its appearance. The popular character of cultural events and the real presence of terrorism today force society to use the secret service and military equipment in public places. This aspect has given rise to the problem of total psychic perception of the awesome weapon. The necessity arose to introduce special camouflage for military equipment in the context of festivals. The transformation of a weapon's appearance and the adaptation of its design to an architectural style in a public place is the only way to fit it in and conceal its military form from direct pathologic associations. The architectural concept of exterior design of military equipment has a positive subconscious effect on the human psyche with its harmonious forms which have stood the test of time.
