As a playful counterpart to their series on real disasters and other humanitarian subjects, the Czech pair Alena Dvorakova and Viktor Fischer photographed of 'acts of war' in developed countries of Europe. In the realization that progress is inseparably linked with conflict and revolution, with An Hour of War they give the suggestion of apocalyptic images. In reality, these are photographs of the Greek religious festival 'Clean Monday', where participants bombard each other with flour.

Alena Dvorakova (b. 1970, Czechoslovakia) and Viktor Fischer (b. 1967, Czechoslovakia) have worked together on photography projects since 1992. They are also represented in Act of Faith with Missions, a series about missionary work by Czech nuns.
