I jumped into the fray of an online World War II-themed game not as a combatant, but as a journalist, extending the thematic narrative of the virtual war by capturing photographs of the conflict instead of participating in the battles.The gameplay, for me, became a matter of documenting the action without putting my avatar at risk, hiding inside destroyed buildings and ducking behind piles of rubble as I took my photos.
The aesthetics are an homage to the work of the photojournalist Robert Capa, whose most famous photos of the D-Day invasion were blurred due to a lab technician’s error.
