untitled part 2 : beauty and the east (2003)

This video continues exploring the idea of "intersticiality," examining nationalism, the nation-state, time, alienation, and how political identities are formed and rejected. It also considers ethnofascism, the body's role as both object and symbol, the nature of authority, and the concepts of monsters and abjection. The video looks at personal connections and the possibility of trust. The footage was captured while traveling from home to New York and Vienna, and then through the former Yugoslavia – including Ljubljana, Zagreb, Sarajevo, Belgrade, and Skopje – in the wake of the NATO bombings.
