The Irreducible Difference of the Other
Vivienne Dick
Experimental : 27' / Activism, Politics, Avantgarde

What it means to be human in a world orientated towards war, terror, and consumption? Franco-Irish actress Olwen Fouéré tries to answer this by inhabiting the personas of Antonin Artaud and Russian poet Anna Akhmatova. Key historical moments are referenced, including opposition to the Iraq war, the Arab Spring and recent anti-austerity protests, proclaiming the desire for a world which is more balanced, and which focuses less on exploitation and destruction.
