Over my dead country
The work as an experiment in “spectropoetics”, a re-visitation of the ghosts that haunt the history. This historical event conjures overtones of present social issues.
Is this the 100th anniversary celebration of a country or a prediction of doom, the last rays of a sun that is setting beneath the shadow of threats? Mixing the firework display and the sacrifice of martyrs, this work not only presents visual paradoxes but also re-visits the ghosts of history. Fusing tragedy and celebration, it reflects concerns about media monopolies, social & political predicament and the current situation of the country. A historical process, repetition or an ending – what will be revealed through the flames?
