Ashes, Ashes… was part of a collaborative project that was commissioned and presented at the BAC!05 festival of contemporary art in Barcelona, Spain. It is now included in the traveling program of works by American artists called For Life Against the War: A Collective Outcry curated by Lynne Sachs.
Ashes, ashes… uses a mix of personal and archival footage to probes the subject of war and violence, contemplating through visual juxtapositions how the residue of violent acts permeates to the present and into the future. How do we extinguish this viscous cycle? The video creates an atmosphere that tugs the spectator between the aesthetic visual seduction of violent imagery and the reality of horror and pain of the acts themselves.
