Video, 7'. 2010, Ramallah
The
virtual conflict relays on two parts: the first part is purely
documentary on in the West Bank city of Nablus, where the filming is
taking place in one of resistance force members house, who got killed by
the Israeli soldiers at his home. The second part is filmed in the same
day on the border of West Bank city of Tulkarm and Netanya in Israel.
Tom
tells an event that did not happen to him, but happened to me– Tom has
never visited Cairo, but he tells the story from the virtual perspective
of what is screened on TV and what the fact according to what he has
deducted by the end.
And
this is what is shown on the screen: I had never predicted entering the
house of one of the martyrs, standing with some Israeli soldiers for
long to exchange jocks. Before all these events were semi virtual news
that I watched on News bulletins.
The
contrabass player is linking the dramatic crescendo of the events as
the music loses its meaning without the performance of musician or
rather because he plays with a very noisy way.
