Creatively Rewriting History

By incorporating both pop culture icons – like Yoda, Darth Vader and Spiderman – and historical figures – like Abraham Lincoln and Adolf Hitler – into past, real-life scenes, Ukrainian artist Danil Polevoy chose to rewrite history in his own, unique way. The realistic photo collages are humorous yet thought-provoking at the same time. After all, what would our lives be like if these images really showed the truth?


Adolf Hitler’s works of art


Darth Vader of the Old City (Jerusalem)


Abraham Lincoln’s first job, February 5, 1865


Ministry Of Sound, 1905


General Douglas MacArthur, Washington, D.C., November 1930


The first McDonald’s restaurant, Yorktown, Virginia (vicinity), May 1862


The Kiss Orchestra, Wisconsin, circa 1931
