In the works "Battle Erasement" by Barbara Schober, one can watch step by step two naval battles based on historical paintings as they disappear. First the martial motif becomes ghostly transparent, as incorporeal as a memory. Then it's gone and what's left is... well what? A landscape, yes, but not a landscape painting in the true sense. Rather, the void suddenly raises questions about the world and truth and memory and perhaps also why wars are actually the narrative pillars of our human history.
