THEY CALL US THE ENEMY
Duur 7 min. | Video-installatie met één scherm en korte film

Glanzende laarzen en knopen, epauletten en strepen op schouders en mouwen, medailles op de borst gespeld, een zelfverzekerde blik in de ogen en geloof in eigen suprematie. De theatrale pracht en praal, ceremoniële tradities, smetteloze uniformen en bijbehorende attributen waarmee het leger zichzelf presenteert, staan in schril contrast met de verwoesting en chaos die het veroorzaakt.

Montage: Pim Zwier
Pianoklanken en geluiden: Nicolas Chientaroli
Geluidsbewerking: Nicolas Chientaroli en Pim Zwier
Opname: Niels Brouwer
In opdracht en ondersteund door ‘Gimme Shelter’.

They Call Us the Enemy (2015)

Duration 7 min. | Single-screen video-installation and short film

Shining boots and buttons, epaulettes and stripes on shoulders and sleeves, medals pinned to the chest, a confident look in the eyes and belief in their own supremacy. The theatrical pomp and circumstance, ceremonial traditions, spotless uniforms and accompanying attributes, which the military uses to present itself, contrast sharply with the devastation and chaos it causes.
