Direct - Indirect I,II,III

Synopsis

The first and second films accentuate the body in a setting of war, re-organizing TV clips of war coverage, digitally reconstructing images, manipulating time and reality until human nature, concealed behind the imagery, reemerges. The third film is dedicated to mothers. First we see a child engulfed in flam, pleading for help, then enter into an apocalyptic series of fires and catastrophes. The director repeatedly explores the oppression, allure and latent meaning contained in images of violence and transformation. At the same time, in a way that doesn't suppress or violate historical, political or aesthetic demands, he successfully shakes the sturdiest of foundations.
