Photo by @hiddenwwi // This former World War I underground city now exists in complete darkness under a beautiful French farm field and no one but locals know that it’s there. A century ago, hundreds of young soldiers from New England found shelter here for about six weeks during World War I. Men fought and died on the farmland just outside this site. In modern times we come to believe that most knowledge can be found on the internet. What’s incredible about The Hidden World of World War I is that it remains largely unknown and is rarely mentioned on the internet. Part of the reason for this is that we must see things to believe that they are real. Dozens and dozens of places presently exist underground from World War I that have never been seen in modern times. They lie in silence and darkness beneath private French farmlands. They have never been photographed. Depicting them is technically challenging. This photograph was made using a complex technique to achieve Rembrandt type lighting in studio still life photography developed by the master photographer Harold Ross. I was fortunate to study with Harold and have adapted his techniques to the WWI underground. This site was featured in the recently aired Smithsonian Channel documentary “Americans Underground: Secret City of WWI”. It will air again on March 25th. This photograph will be part of an upcoming 19 month exhibition of my work at the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum in Washington, D.C.. The show opens April 6th. #history#hiddenwwi #wwi #hidden #smithsonian#europe #france
