The perception of the other is a question of one’s experience (ref. Bernhard
Waldenfels – Topography of the Other).
Images paired with the sound and words are, in Baudrillardian terms, a
construct, built in a hermetic way with the intention of serving one
“truth“. Concerned with the media image that is mainly shown, we
deconstruct it. In order to expose it, we gather voices from different
people: self-organized structures of volunteers, friends who fled, friends
who help, and our own.
In second and third part of our project we are positioning the observed
and the observer on the same plane. To trigger questioning. To trigger
equality.
In times of uncertainty, the only thing we find certain is that through
open dialogue, experience can be broadened and conclusions drawn
accordingly.
