projection, approx. 11 min, looped, DTS or Dolby surround
The audio-visual situation called (Cona C)
Zone C explores migration processes through various aspects. It follows
an individual who has left his/her domestic ground, friends, culture - the
homeland territory - behind. The project focuses on the phenomenon of the border
as a geo-political crossing line, which acts as a membrane, as a two-directional
filter.
It appears as a border defining the power of
one territory against the other, affecting the immigrant's position according to
order and laws imposed by the state on either side. It is a game with different
rules for different people.
Borders, fences,
walls. Some preventing from exiting, others prohibiting entering. The Iron
Curtain, Schengen. The Chinese wall, the Berlin wall, West - Israeli wall
This
enormous snake (8 m high, 40 m wide, and 650 km long) is supposed to divide
Palestinian West bank from Israel and prevent suicidal bombing attacks
How does a wall
come into existence? By a mental barrier transforming into a material one! A
wall that grows in people's minds materialises on Earth. An owner's wall, a
defence wall, a border wall, a racial wall, a wall of prejudices and
mistrust
