The work, commissioned by Associação Cultural Videobrasil, was made at the Casa Tomada residency, in São Paulo, between April and July 2011. In a work that resembles a sequence shot, a tense situation unfolds without denouement, like a promised conquest that goes undelivered: a soldier in some unidentified place pursues an enemy that doesn’t show himself. The video criticizes the military ethos and severely questions the politically and socially transformative power of art.
