Camp Dreamland

A video pentalogy, 2003 – 2008

The joint title, Camp Dreamland, highlights these works as a series of artistic reflections on the global political situation 2003-2008. The title reflects the radical substitutions characteristic of military jargon: the American military base outside Fallujah in Iraq is called Camp Dreamland, a euphemistic misnomer that disturbs the understanding of language's relationship to reality.
