AIRBORNE 44

Scenes from D-Day re-created using 12-inch (1:6 scale) Allied paratrooper figures. The scenes reconstituted and revisited by Frederic Bouteiller and Pierre-André Dupuis, all inspired by real events and veterans’ recollections, fill in a gap left by the official photographs. History is relived with these 12-inch figures.
Action figures, the modern heroes of this Norman saga, have written a new page of the legend. Adjusting the harness, smoking the last cigarette in the C-47, hitting the ground, drowning in the marshes with death stalking behind the hedges, the return... Just as many pictures left buried in the memory of the veterans alone.
