Geography of the Heroes

Geography of the Heroes is a flash animated game simulation that is part of the YU/RO project. The work is formulated by the impossibility of dualism between the hero and the antihero, ironically mapping the "heroism" often depraved into a victimization as justification for crime. The work projects the nonexistent complexity of a war criminal seen as a hero by some, yet being a ruthless criminal for others, locating the national self on one hand as an aggressor and on the other as a saviour, ignoring the confusion created in this process of what is indeed a hero or what it is not.
