Video installation exhibited at Casa Ciriza

This two channel video projection by Basque artist Iñaki Garmendia combined a shot from the backstage of a Terrorgruppe concert on the eve of Mayday at the SO36 club in Kreuzberg (Berlin), with a more scripted depiction of anarchy directed by the artist. This juxtaposition reflected on the value of irreconcilability in contrast to consensus in the regulated space of political bureaucracy.
