"How can one not be tempted to divine one's
own destiny from the televisual tarot of global media? There were times
when, told in the language of international news, the histories of my
country would unfold in unrecognisable ways, and my place within these
stories would become disjointed and unbearable. I wanted to speak of the
discomfort of a thousand ill-fitting interpretations. Using television
images relating to the transformative events between 1994 and 1998, I
attempted to locate my own implicit presence in the narrative of these
critical times. My project was about reclaiming these moments,
re-inscribing them with the movements of my own body, the sound of my own
heartbeat - a memory recounted in flesh and bones. Although my body is not
a-political nor neutral and my access to it is not uncomplicated, I wanted
to bring the extremes of fear, euphoria, desire, rage and loss into a
language beyond democratic rhetoric. - Minnette Vári
