Waste

5'38/ 2007

View Video

Hundreds of dead cars lie broken by the side of the road between Skopje and Prishtina, where new buildings sprawl without clear order or planning. Using endless repetition, this work focuses on what has been disposed while leaving
out the fast process of construction that is taking place. An initial emptiness is disrupted by the impact of waste on the land, which is portrayed by loaded images that are both disturbing and satisfying. Waste raises questions about the way development is defined today. This video is a reflection of the experience of traveling a foreign territory; it is the silent and distant view of a traveler who is attempting to decipher its particular codes and history.
