Battleground

Installation vidéo | hdv | couleur | 5:25 | Italie, USA | 2017

The existence of a battleground implies a larger war going on and an inherent lack of a resolution. Even within a single battle, the balance can shift, things can change or evolve, and be regarded from a different perspective. Rules and roles can be surpassed. Gesture is crucial in this regard as "the process of making a means visible as such" (Agamben).
