Omar fast 《 casting 》 2007 Photo: Nick Trikonis © OMER FAST
Of “a thing of a special place permitted Berlin – us of the 0s” (just) 展出品 this work is a picture work consisting of the screens of four reflected each by the front and back of the screen of two by the Omar fast from Israel in total. A writer interviews a soldier of U.S.A., and two episodes that a soldier recites there cause it. The event that one was wrong at the time of the dispatch of troops in Iraq, and has shot a private citizen, the story that spent Christmas with the woman who repeated a self-harm act one more in Germany. The reproduction picture develops it with surface screen by the fast cuts two different episodes, and both this time and the place improve, and it is minute and ties it, and putting it together as if it is at all one story. On the other hand, at the back side, the scene of the interview is projected.
It is what it often has pointed out in the information that the mass media where we receive every day sends it to that a story is spun arbitrarily by such editing. This work of the fast reminds us of arbitrariness characteristics of such information and memory some other time.
I am going to introduce some works in future. Don’t miss it!
