ABSTRACT This paper summarises some of the results of archaeological research on twentieth century military heritage in the Polish woodlands, namely the discovery of artefacts made, remade, and personalised by soldiers, prisoners of war, and civilians during military conflicts. Such objects are examples of so-called ‘trench art’. I draw attention to the universality of trench art, a phenomenon that is usually associated with the past conflicts such as the Napoleonic Wars and the First and Second World Wars. Nonetheless, trench art is, in its complexity, diversity and affectivity, an integral part of modern warfare, including the recent tragic conflict in Syria. After presenting the project and some examples of trench art documented during the research, I discuss a unique artistic intervention entitled Painting on Death to illustrate the affective, aesthetic, and political value of modern trench art.

记忆与遗忘之间的战壕艺术：来自波兰（和叙利亚）的报告

摘要 本文总结了对波兰林地 20 世纪军事遗产的考古研究的一些结果，即在军事冲突期间发现了由士兵、战俘和平民制作、重制和个性化的手工艺品。这些物品是所谓的“海沟艺术”的例子。我提请注意战壕艺术的普遍性，这种现象通常与拿破仑战争以及第一次和第二次世界大战等过去的冲突有关。尽管如此，就其复杂性、多样性和情感而言，战壕艺术是现代战争不可或缺的一部分，包括最近在叙利亚发生的悲惨冲突。在介绍了该项目和研究期间记录的一些战壕艺术示例之后，我讨论了一项名为“死亡绘画”的独特艺术干预，以说明情感，
